SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- The general manager of the Utah Transit Authority says the TRAX line to Salt Lake City International Airport is about 15 percent complete.

John Inglish met with the Utah Transportation Commission last week to discuss progress on FrontLines 2015 -- UTA's program to build 70 miles of rail by 2015. Voters approved a tax increase to help UTA pay for the project.

Another light-rail line running from a TRAX station near Fashion Place Mall in Murray to the Daybreak community in South Jordan is 40 percent complete. And Inglish says a TRAX line in West Valley City is 30 percent complete.

FrontRunner South, a section of commuter rail linking Salt Lake and Utah counties, is about 25 percent complete.
