Plans and Studies

Salt Lake City is dedicated to developing strategies for improving transportation through comprehensive plans and studies. These efforts aim to enhance mobility, safety, and accessibility for all modes of transportation across the city.

The Salt Lake City Citywide Transportation Plan logo, with the word "CONNECT" in colored blocks and various transportation icons surrounding it.

Citywide Transportation Plan

Salt Lake City adopted Connect SLC, a robust and extensive update to the 1996 Citywide Transportation Plan.

An aerial view of Salt Lake City showing the east-west transportation divide created by the railroad and I-15 freeway. Multiple elevated highways and rail lines cut through the city, separating neighborhoods and limiting connectivity.

West-East Connections Study

Barriers like I-15 and rail lines make east-west travel difficult for Salt Lake City’s Westside. The SLC West-East Connections Study will identify ways to improve connectivity for all road users, shaped by community voices.

The image shows a street view of a road labeled "400 S" leading toward the University of Utah stadium in Salt Lake City. The street has two lanes with a dividing line, and there are vehicles parked along the curb on both sides. Trees line the sidewalk, providing shade, and residential homes are visible on the right side. The large structure of the stadium dominates the background, with its recognizable red "U" logo on a prominent tower. The weather is clear with bright blue skies.

The 1300 East/University District Circulation Study will recommend transportation improvements, including multi-modal connections, transit, and traffic management, to enhance access to the University of Utah and the local business district.
