The third BRT line in the Utah Transit Authority system connects destinations from Taylorsville to the West Valley.
The Utah Transit Authority opened a new bus rapid transit line in Salt Lake City, the third BRT route in the UTA system, reports Dan Zukowski in Smart Cities Dive. The entire UTA system saw 40.3 million boardings in 2025.
Zukowski adds, "The all-electric Midvalley Express BRT line 'connects local destinations and planned developments' with the transit hub on the Taylorsville campus of Salt Lake Community College, UTA said."
The new BRT line joins a two-mile streetcar and UTA's TRAX light rail system.
