Commentary: UTA should not forget the Midvalley Connector BRT plan

For the past several years, Taylorsville City has worked diligently with multiple partners, including West Valley City, Murray City, Salt Lake Community College, Salt Lake County, UDOT and the Utah Transit Authority, to bring the Midvalley Connector Bus Rapid Transit service (BRT) to the heart of the Salt Lake Valley.

Bus Rapid Transit makes sense, especially as state and local leaders seek innovative ways to improve air quality and cut through the inversion and smog we confront each winter. It makes even more sense when looking at the significant growth that puts tens of thousands more drivers on Utah’s roadways each year.
