Revenue Contract: Interagency Agreement Regarding the 200 South Transit Signal Priority Project and Community Project Fund (Salt Lake City)
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Non-Procurement Agreement
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize the Executive Director to execute the Interagency Cooperative Agreement regarding 200 South Transit Corridor Construction Project with Salt Lake City (SLC) for administering the Community Project Fund (CPF) grant and constructing the Transit Signal Priority (TSP) CPF Project.
BACKGROUND:
SLC has been awarded funding through the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) via FY2023 CPF designated for use on the 200 South Transit Corridor. SLC currently cannot be a direct recipient of the CPF grant. UTA has the authority to enter into a Funding Agreement with FTA for the CPF grant, on behalf of SLC. UTA and SLC will cooperate in the management of the design and construction of the project.
The project includes construction of elements that will be added to the 200 South Transit Corridor to enhance bus operations on 200 South. This effort aims to improve traffic signal operations, including TSP, connected vehicle systems (V2X), and detection systems for vehicles, pedestrians, and cyclists. This effort will also consider how the transit lane is used by the general traveling public and identify strategies to minimize violations and keep the bus lane from being blocked, including high visibility signage and pavement markings (e.g. red transit lane).
DISCUSSION:
The Project includes:
• Applying red transit lane paint and associated pavement markings on 200 S from 400 W to Main St and State St to 700 East including thermoplastic “bus only” pavement markings and supplemental signs.
• Installation of new traffic signals at 900 E / 200 S and signals at 1300 E / 200 S, and rebuild curb ramps as needed.
SLC will complete the design for the Project, and UTA will administer the grant and complete construction of the Project.

SLC will provide UTA with the required local match, which will be paid to UTA in two installments, allowing UTA to execute the CPF grant agreement with Federal Transit Administration. SLC will pay the first installment to UTA concurrently with the signing of the interlocal agreement. SLC will pay the second installment to UTA upon UTA’s execution of the construction contract for the Project. The UTA administrative fees will be deducted from the grant award in the maximum amount of 10%, which is $0.25 million based on total project value of $2.5 million.
The total funding from this agreement ($2.5 million) is included in MSP325 2026 Capital Budget ($1.285 million), and UTA’s 5-year Capital Plan (2026-2030) ($4.498 million).
