I am pleased with Gov. Gary Herbert’s two recent appointments to the Utah Transit Authority Commission. This three-member commission is the new governance structure for UTA. In accordance with carefully crafted recent legislation, the governor was wise in selecting Carlton Christensen and Beth Holbrook. A representative from Utah County has yet to be named.
Beth and Carlton are capable leaders with long experience in government and business management, with no connection to previous UTA administrations. The public has been expecting a fresh start along with new leadership for UTA, and we will get it with these two choices.
