UTA names temporary chief: Steve Meyer, who helped oversee expansion of its rail system

(Leah Hogsten | Tribune File Photo) Steve Meyer, a UTA engineer who helped oversee the agency's massive rail projects in past years, has been named interim director of UTA. The move requires ratification of the full board later this month. Meyer, who is retiring next year, will temporarily fill the new top spot after the Utah Legislature ordered restructuring that did away with the old positions of CEO and president. Those titles are held by Jerry Benson, who leaves UTA on May 7. This Sept. 29, 2010, file photo shows Meyer as contractors and Union Pacific workers lay FrontRunner commuter rail lines in Lehi.
