In 2020 all of our travel patterns changed due to the pandemic, but one new pattern stood out from the rest. A “Bike Boom” appeared across the country - including in Utah - demonstrated by dramatic spike in bike sales and bike trips. According to StreetLight Data 2020 Climate Impact Index, bike travel increased in Salt Lake City by 25%, Provo by 50% and Ogden by 75%.


We’re Getting First/Last Mile Done

In 2016 UTA was awarded $20 million grant to improve active transit. These are “TIGER” grants (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery). With partners like UDOT and local municipalities we have completed over a 100 projects. Some of these are wayfinding projects but even more are creating paths and connections for walkers and bikers and increasing bike infrastructure. For example, we have two bikeable pedestrian bridges and 21 bike repair stands planned for 2021 made possible by TIGER.


Become Bike-versed

Sometimes the thought of taking your bike on transit can seem daunting but in practice it’s pretty easy. UTA bus, FrontRunner and TRAX all have designated spots to park your bike while you ride. Learn what to look for and then you’re set, park your bike and let UTA help you finish out your journey.
