Plans and Studies

Transportation Plans & Studies

The Salt Lake City Transportation Division is responsible for developing and implementing strategies in Citywide Plans, studies, and other guiding design documents. Here are the completed documents we are implementing, as well as some that we are currently developing.


Major Plans, Projects & Programs In Development

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.

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.

Rio Grande Plan Screening Analysis

The Rio Grande Plan (RGP), 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.”

The 9-Line trail, a concrete two-way path separated from the road that connects 900 West all the way to 900 East.

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.

Local Link Study

Salt Lake City, South Salt Lake, Millcreek, and Holladay teamed up on Local Link to learn how people travel in and around the community in order to develop innovative multi-modal options for more convenient and connected trips.

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.
