BRT, or bus rapid transit, is an enhanced bus service that is faster and more reliable than regular bus services. Features include:

• Faster, more frequent service (5- to 15-minute frequency)
• Exclusive, bus-only lanes for faster travel and to prevent delay from mixed traffic congestion
• Full-service stations with adequate shelters and seating
• Off-board fare collection at the station
• Transit signal priority at intersections to reduce delays caused to buses by turning vehicles

BRT is relatively new to Utah with several BRT lines active including  3500 South MAX.  Take a look at the most recent BRT line coming to Utah County: Utah Valley Express

The Midvalley Connector project will extend and refine the Locally Preferred Alternative (LPA) previously identified in the 2013 Taylorsville-Murray Transit ESR, which consisted of a BRT route from Murray Central Station to the SLCC Redwood Campus. The project will identify a preferred route and station locations from the SLCC Redwood Campus to West Valley Central Station, prepare an ESR for the full BRT route, and begin preliminary design.

The approximately 7-mile BRT route will include:

• 1.4 miles of center-running, exclusive BRT lanes with center stations along 4700 South
• Urban design elements and a complete street corridor along 4500/4700 South west of I-15 from approximately Atherton Drive to Redwood Road in Taylorsville
• An enhanced transit plaza at the SLCC Redwood Campus
• Up to 15 new stations
• Connections to regional TRAX and FrontRunner transit service at both the Murray Central Station and the West Valley Central Station
