Utah transit officials are optimistic that 15-minute-frequency commuter rail service between Ogden and Provo could be available as early as 2030, as they await a final decision on a $2.4 billion federal funding request to double-track the FrontRunner.

"Certainly, we want to see it well before the Olympics because it's a game-changer," he said, noting that it would help better connect with its light-rail and bus networks that already offer 15-minute service.

Workers have the right to a collective bargaining agreement after they vote to form their union. Current labor law is full of loopholes that employers exploit to drag out negotiations for years. On average, American workers are forced to wait 458 days to secure a first union contract.

Teamsters and millions of workers across the country are done waiting. Real reform is needed now. Last month, by building a bipartisan coalition, the Teamsters Union worked with 218 members of Congress to sign a discharge petition, bypassing House leadership to bring the Faster Labor Contracts Act to the floor for a vote.

The vote in Congress is now upon us. Tell your member of Congress to “VOTE YES” and pass the Faster Labor Contracts Act: https://actionnetwork.org/letters/tell-your-member-of-congress-to-vote-yes-on-hr-5408-the-bipartisan-faster-labor-contracts-act
