UTA in partnership with Salt Lake City, the Salt Lake City Mayor’s Bicycle Association, and the Utah Department of Transportation are developing a plan for a bicycle transit center. The purpose of this planning project is to increase bicycle use as a viable transportation option by making bicycling more convenient and appealing to the public. This project includes design and operational planning, not construction.
What is a bike transit center? A bicycle transit center is much more than a few bike racks. It’s a resource that reinvents the park-and-ride for bicycle transportation. Bicycle transit centers may feature secure indoor bike parking, bicycle repairs, bike rentals, showers, a shop for bike accessories and refreshments, and cycling information including maps, classes, registration and more. A bicycle transit center has the ability to add more cyclists to streets and parkways like no other public amenity can.
The proposed location for the bicycle transit center is downtown Salt Lake City at the Salt Lake Central Station (250 South 600 West). Once the contractor is selected, timelines for developing the plan will be based on an agreed-upon scope of work.
