Major Plans, Projects & Programs
Salt Lake City’s Transportation Division 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.
Citywide Transportation Plan
The Salt Lake City Transportation Division is launching Connect SLC, a robust and extensive process for updating our 1996 Transportation Master Plan.
Granary District Area Plan
Salt Lake City has launched a planning effort to develop a multimodal circulation plan for the Granary District that responds to development patterns, existing and future transit service, right-of-way opportunities, and that is driven by data and community input.
Rio Grande Plan Screening Analysis
The Rio Grande Plan, a citizen-generated concept, proposes to realign heavy freight rail (Union Pacific), regional commuter rail (FrontRunner), and Amtrak rail under 500 West, by way of a “train box.”
East-West Connections
Salt Lake City received a $1.97M federal grant as part of the Reconnecting Communities Pilot Program to help heal the east-west divide through a robust community-centric planning effort.
1300 E/University District Circulation Study
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.
North Temple Mobility Hub
Salt Lake City and Utah Transit Authority (UTA) are starting site analysis, community engagement, and preliminary design to build a new multimodal mobility hub.
Street & Intersection Typologies Design Guide
This guide will help Salt Lake City create streets that are designed better for everyone. The project creates new definitions and designs for 17 distinct kinds (or typologies) of streets in the city.
Short-Range Transportation Project Recommendations
To aid in selecting projects to implement from our master plans (listed below), this multi-year list of projects helps City officials apply objective criteria related to equity, sustainability, governance, and safety.
Ballpark Station Area Plan
This plan recommends specific improvements in the area to create a “heart of the neighborhood,” facilitate transit connections, and support livability and growth in residential, office, restaurant, and retail properties in the Ballpark neighborhood.
