Kristofferson said the change addresses attorney guidance that the prior language was not sufficiently clear to allow corridor preservation dollars to be used for fixed transit guideways. Jeff Azersson of the Utah Transit Authority testified in support, saying the change would help preserve corridor space "not just for roads, but also for transit." Miranda Jones Cox of the Wasatch Front Regional Council also testified in support and thanked the sponsor for advancing corridor preservation.
