Project Description

The federal assistance will be used for transit signal (TSP) and high visibility signage and pavement markings. These are modular elements slated for addition to the transit corridor following the locally funded reconstruction of 200 South in 2022-2023. The TSP equipment upgrades signal and technology systems to improve transit reliability and automobile capacity. High visibility signage and pavement markings, such as red transit lanes, designate side-running transit priority lanes (e.g., BRT-like) with boarding island stations to reduce bus dwell times, minimize conflicts with traffic and cyclists, and accommodate increased bus activity.\n\nThe 200 South Transit Corridor Phase 3: Transit Lane Compliance and Capacity Optimization is the next phase in the transformation of 200 South for Bus Rapid Transit to deliver fast and efficient service for multiple regional bus routes connecting major economic and education centers in the \\\xfc/Wasatch Font region. The project upgrades traffic components that allow the 200 South Transit Corridor to accommodate twelve bus routes with roughly 1,100 bus trips per day for existing local routes and new regional routes serving South Davis County and westside communities in Salt Lake City.\n\nThis project is a good use of taxpayer dollars because it will increase air quality, enhance quality of life, and unlock the vision for the developing Bus Rapid Transit corridor that increases mobility and connectivity for the region.
