Because UTA has such an expansive inventory of bus stops (more than 5,400), these stops are most often the public's first impression of UTA and our presence in the community.

UTA's objective is to make bus stops locations 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.

Bus Stop Master Plan

UTA has adopted a Bus Stop Master Plan (BSMP) that provides an inventory of existing conditions, as well as a common set of goals, design principles and 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 BSMP outlines and encourages partnerships with local governments and property owners. UTA is continually working with communities to improve access to bus stops with things like sidewalks, street crossings, curb ramps, and bicycle lanes.

This document contains 4 major sections:

• A brief introduction to the purpose, need, and goals of the master plan
• A description of the existing conditions
• The design criteria and guidelines for bus stops
• A prioritization methodology for managing bus stop improvements

UTA-Led Bus Stop Improvement Efforts

The purpose of these bus stop improvements is to make stops accessible to all riders, including people with limited mobility. Exact changes will vary by location but typically include replacement of sidewalk panels, the addition of new concrete pads with updated signage, shelters, benches, and trash cans — all to make the riding experience better. Through bus stop improvements, UTA is investing in better transit experience systemwide.

In 2026, UTA plans to improve and build approximately 100 bus stops across the Wasatch Front, including in Weber, Davis, Salt Lake, and Utah counties. Work began in January 2026 and will continue through November 2026.

Salt Lake City Bus Stop Improvement Partnership Efforts

In partnership with UTA, Salt Lake City has been improving bus stops across the city. The primary purpose of the changes is to make bus stops accessible to all riders, including people with limited mobility. Changes 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 where warranted — all to make the riding experience better.

Recent bus stop efforts (2020-2025) have focused on making improvements on the following corridors and areas in Salt Lake City:

• South Temple: 200 East to Virginia Street
• 500 East: 300 South to 2500 South
• 2100 South: West Temple to 2100 East
• 2100 East: 2100 South to Foothill Boulevard
• Foothill Boulevard: I-215 to Wakara Way
• 1000 North: Redwood Road to 900 West
• 600 North: Redwood Road to 900 West
• 900 West: 1000 North to North Temple
• Downtown: Various locations
• 200 South Phase I: 900 East to 200 East
• Redwood Road: North Temple to 600 North
• 200 South Phase II: 200 East to 400 West
• 1100 East: 2700 South to 900 South
• 1300 East: 3000 South to 2100 South

Now that Salt Lake City has finished up bus stop improvement efforts (2025) on the high frequency (15-minute) routes, the city and UTA are focused on making improvements on the following corridors to improve access for all riders.

In 2026, UTA will be adding amenities where warranted:

• 900 East: 3000 South to South Temple (34)
• State Street: 1700 South to 900 South (11)
• Redwood Road: 2100 South to North Temple (55)
• 100 South / University Street: (2)

These bus stop improvements align with Salt Lake City’s Transit Master Plan and support bus service.

Adopt-a-Stop

UTA’s Adopt-a-Stop program encourages 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.

Partners are also invited to create or choose artwork that reflects the community and install a shelter wrap, creating an enhanced ridership experience and creative placemaking in the neighborhood.

Featured Bus Stop

  

This stop location is in Utah County at the Public Work Department.

This project is a great example of how agencies like UDOT and Utah County can work together to improve bus stops. The changes were mainly driven by the nearby homeless warming shelter located at the Utah County Public Works site. The bus stop was moved closer to the shelter for easier access, and closer to a traffic light so riders can safely cross a busy, high-speed road. These improvements make the stop more convenient and safer for both regular bus riders and people seeking shelter during the cold winter months and those with disabilities using wheelchairs and other mobility devices. The stop services routes 821,822 & 823.
