The Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), and the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) in conjunction with Mountainland Association of Governments (MAG), are proposing to build a new bus rapid transit (BRT) system through the cities of Provo and Orem in Utah County.  The proposed project would include:

• Providing BRT service between the Orem Intermodal Center, UVU, BYU and the Provo Intermodal Center.

• Two additional general purpose lanes on University Parkway from State Street to University Avenue

• New high-occupancy/toll (HOT) interchange overpass at 800 South and I-15 in Orem, to serve BRT, automobiles, pedestrians and cyclists.

At completion, the project would include 19 new stations, two of which would be located at the future Orem and Provo Intermodal Stations.  For approximately 71% of the proposed route, BRT vehicles would operate in their own exclusive center running lanes.
