BACKGROUND:
The 5600 West Bus Route is the transit alternative for UDOT’s Mountain View Corridor (MVC) project. UTA has an agreement with UDOT to implement the transit alternative.

Old Bingham Hwy TRAX Station, the International Center, and the Salt Lake City International Airport. The project includes new bus stops along 5600 West and four new park and rides. Design concepts were closely coordinated with UDOT representatives and UTA Service Planning team. Vehicles for the project will consist of CNG buses awarded through the FY 2023 Low or No Emission Grant Program - 5339(c).

Earlier this year, UTA issued an RFQu seeking a qualified firm for design services on the 5600 West Bus Route, including the development of bus stops and park and ride facilities. The scope of work includes 100% design and preparation of construction documents. WSP USA Inc. was selected to deliver the project.
