First and Last Mile Strategies for Transit Systems

The objectives of this project are to develop recommendations for a comprehensive first and last mile strategy around major transit stations and fixed route stops including existing bus rapid transit (BRT) Provo and Orem light rail and commuter rail stations within the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) system in an effort to reduce auto usage and increase ridership as a means of improving air quality and reducing congestion.
