Keeping Utah Moving.
Transportation should make life easier, not take families away from the things that matter most. Kay is focused on reducing congestion, protecting taxpayers and planning responsibly for Utah's long-term transportation needs.
Less Time in Traffic. More Time at Home.
Reliable roads and transportation systems are part of Utah's quality of life. Congestion costs families time, fuel and vehicle expenses while making it harder for businesses to move people and goods efficiently.
Kay believes Utah should plan ahead, preserve key transportation corridors before they become more expensive and make smart investments that solve problems before they become crises.
Infrastructure Is About Quality of Life
Good transportation policy is not simply about building more roads. It is about giving Utahns back their time, protecting household budgets and keeping communities connected.
Give Families Back Their Time
Reducing congestion means less time sitting in traffic and more time with family, at work and in the community.
Keep Transportation Affordable
Efficient roads reduce wasted fuel, vehicle wear and the hidden costs families pay when trips take longer than they should.
Plan Before Problems Get Worse
Preserving corridors and planning infrastructure early can save taxpayers money and avoid more expensive solutions later.
Transportation Experience That Matters
Transportation is not just another issue on Kay's list. He has taken a leading role in shaping Utah's transportation policy.
Chair, House Transportation Committee
Kay serves as chair of the Utah House Transportation Standing Committee, helping guide transportation policy through the Legislature.
H.B. 481 — Transportation Modifications
Kay was the chief sponsor of H.B. 481, addressing road funding, corridor preservation, transportation administration and other long-term transportation needs.
S.B. 242 — Transportation Amendments
Kay carried this major transportation bill in the House, supporting corridor preservation, rural transit, rail infrastructure and a more connected statewide transportation system.
Major Transportation Investment Close to Home
Utah has committed nearly $1.4 billion to transportation infrastructure in northwest Utah County, including the 2100 North freeway connection linking Mountain View Corridor to I-15.
The project is designed to improve east-west travel through Utah Valley and reduce pressure on heavily congested routes such as Redwood Road.
Building Smarter, Not Just Bigger
Kay's approach is focused on solving real transportation problems while using taxpayer dollars responsibly.
Preserve Critical Corridors
Secure future transportation corridors before development makes land dramatically more expensive and limits future options.
Reduce Congestion
Prioritize projects that address bottlenecks, improve connections and make everyday travel more reliable.
Build a Connected System
Roads, transit, rail and local transportation systems should work together to give Utahns practical choices.
Protect Taxpayer Dollars
Plan early, prioritize wisely and make investments that deliver long-term value rather than repeatedly paying to solve preventable problems.
