Description/Agenda

Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the lead federal agency, and the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), the project proponent are proposing the Midvalley Connector Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project to connect the Murray Central Station to the Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) Redwood Campus in Taylorsville City and the West Valley Central Station. This project extends approximately 7 miles and spans three cities in Salt Lake County, Murray, Taylorsville and West Valley City. The purpose of the Midvalley Connector BRT is to provide local and regional connections, improve transit service frequency to attract riders, increase mobility and enhance the local economy. The proposed project includes 7 miles of BRT service at 10 to 15 minute frequencies with 15 new BRT stations including a new transit hub at SLCC. The BRT buses would operate in dedicated bus-only lanes for about 1.4 miles along 4700 South. The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and UTA have prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the proposed Midvalley Connector BRT Project. The EA describes the transportation and environmental impacts associated with constructing and operating the BRT system.
