Quarterly Dashboard
ADA Accessible Bus Stop Dashboard:
In addition to the bus stop improvements in the Avenues, UTA plans to enhance several dozen more bus stops throughout the service area by the end of 2024, including on 200 South in Salt Lake City, which features a dedicated bus lane from 400 West to 900 East.

Frequent Transit Network
In partnership with Salt Lake City, UTA has been making bus stop improvements across the city. The primary purpose of the changes to existing bus stops is to make them accessible to all riders, including people with disabilities. Changes will vary by location but typically include replacement of sidewalk panels and new concrete pads with the addition of shelters, benches, trash cans, bike racks, and lighting – all to make the riding experience better.
The Frequent Transit Network is a collaboration with Salt Lake City, find out more:

Bus Stop Master Plan (BSMP)
Because of the expansive inventory of more than 5,106 bus stops, stops are most often public's first impression of UTA and its presence in the community. UTA's objective is to make bus stops a positive contribution to the community. It is important that bus stops, to the maximum extent possible, are easily identifiable, clean, safe, accessible, and a comfortable place to wait for the bus. To achieve these objectives, UTA has adopted the Bus Stop Master Plan (BSMP), which provides an inventory of existing conditions, as well as a common set of goals, design principles, design guidelines and policies to promote consistency in the design and provision of bus stops and their associated amenities. The aim is to ensure that stops are suited to their location, operationally functional and attractive to current and potential riders.
The Bus Stop Master Plan outlines and encourages partnerships with local governments and property owners. UTA is continually working with communities to improve access to bus stops, including sidewalks, street crossings, curb ramps and bicycle lanes.
This document contains four major sections. They are (1) a brief introduction to the purpose and need as well as the goals for the master plan, (2) a description of the existing conditions, (3) the design criteria and guidelines (4) a prioritization methodology for managing the bus stop capital improvement program.

Adopt A Stop
UTA has a new pilot program to encourage community stewardship and partnerships for the bus stops on our system. Similar to an Adopt-A-Highway program, UTA’s Adopt-A-Stop Program invites community organizations and businesses to take care of a nearby bus stop by performing basic maintenance, like trash pickup, snow removal, and salting. The program provides partners with a direct connection to UTA to care for the stops. Partners are also invited to create artwork and install a shelter wrap, creating an enhanced ridership experience and creative placemaking in the neighborhood.
