Lead the Charge: R6 Hosts First Utah Electrification Listening Tour

On May 6–7, our team hosted the first regional listening tour for the Utah Electrified Transportation Initiative at the R6 Regional Council headquarters in Richfield, Utah. With support from IAB Co-chair and R6 Executive Director Travis Kyhl, our staff engaged local and state policymakers, industry leaders, and residents across the region — including attendees from the R6 Regional Growth Summit at Snow College. A consistent theme emerged throughout the discussions: the need for reliable, affordable, and widely available power. Local leaders emphasized that incorporating rural needs and experiences is essential to building a transportation strategy that includes perspectives from across Utah’s geographical landscape.
