CARES Act funding is being used to provide internet access for telemedicine, distance learning and telecommuting ♦
The Utah Department of Transportation is in the final stages of installing fiber conduit systems in two Utah rural locations to increase internet connectivity for communities and enhance mobility and safety on Utah’s highways.
Utah legislators allocated $30 million of the CARES Act funding to UDOT to support the department’s focus on building roadway fiber optic infrastructure to provide broadband connectivity to rural communities for critical needs, including telemedicine, distance learning and telecommuting.
The fiber conduit systems are being installed along I-70 in Millard and Sevier Counties and along I-84 in Box Elder County. In addition, UDOT is extending the fiber conduit to specific locations within the communities to provide Wi-Fi hotspots. These hotspots will allow individuals in specific areas to get high-speed internet access for their needs.
