In Davis, Weber and Box Elder counties, the plan suggests:
Consider using microtransit or other innovations in west Provo and Thanksgiving Point to provide better coverage and replace some bus routes that now have few riders. Opening a new FrontRunner station in Vineyard and adjusting local bus service to connect to it. That service may also expand into Tooele County. 
Continue and possibly expand UTA’s experimental on-demand “microtransit” service in southern Salt Lake County with vans that are a hybrid between Uber and traditional bus service. 
Improve connections between FrontRunner to the University of Utah and Research Park. Improve transit connections in the Rose Park and Glendale areas of Salt Lake City and build a new transit hub on the west side of the city. Improve connections between Tooele and Salt Lake counties. Adjusting local bus routes to prepare for the future bus rapid transit projects, including the Midvalley Connector bus rapid transit project in West Valley City, Taylorsville and Murray, one to connect south Davis County with downtown Salt Lake City and possibly one on 5600 West. Improving service on the west side, with new connections to Salt Lake City International Airport and the inland port via 3600 West, 5600 West and 3100 South. It also outlines some major changes envisioned in different counties. Another major shift would be toward more all-day service, instead of focusing mostly on morning and afternoon commutes. “Everything that is proposed here in this plan is subject to a lot of additional analysis.”īut among those high-level goals are working toward the “core route network” where main arterial routes would run every 15 minutes. And there’s a lot of work still to come,” she told the board. “This is a target of where we think we’re headed. Rather than list a series of specific steps that are coming, UTA Planning Director Laura Hanson said the new plan is more of a high-level vision about where UTA may want to go over the next five years. “I think it’s a positive way to move things forward,” said UTA Board member Jeff Acerson.
