| UTA - Box Elder to Weber County Corridor Preservation | The Brigham City Transit Corridor Study was completed it 2007. It examined options for a transit link between Ogden and Brigham City. The report found that commuter rail would be the best mode to connect the two communities. Shortly after the corridor study was completed, Box Elder County passed a sales tax to support the development of the extension of commuter rail to Box Elder County. | Land being purchaced | Link | |

| CVTA - FrontRunner Double-Tracking | An option for new service in Logan would be a Main Street Shuttle operating from the Walmart on the north end of town, located at 1550 N Main St., to the Walmart on the south end of town, located at 1150 S 100 W, with stops along Main Street and at the Intermodal Transit Center in both directions. The shuttle would operate on a 30 minute frequency, with a roundtrip route length of approximately eight miles. | Proposed | Link (Page 288) | |
| CVTA - Express Service to Smithfield | This option consists of an express service between Smithfield and the Intermodal Transit Center in Logan. The express service would have two runs during the morning peak and two runs in the afternoon peak. | Proposed | Link (Page 289) | |
| CVTA - North Logan Circulator | Results from the onboard survey and online community survey expressed the desire for increased CVTD bus service in North Logan, especially with a direct connection to USU. Approximately three percent of written comments received from the onboard survey questionnaire (28 respondents) expressed the desire for CVTD expanding its current service area, of which three respondents specifically indicated expanding the service area to North Logan. Additionally, about nine percent of written comments received from the online community survey questionnaire (81 respondents) expressed the desire for CVTD expanding its current service area, of which five respondents specifically indicated expanding service in North Logan. CVTD staff have received requests for better local service within North Logan. | Proposed | Link (Page 291) | |
| CVTA - Logan to Brigham City | Community input expressed the desire for bus service to Brigham City and Ogden. Extending CVTD service to Brigham City would increase regional connectivity by allowing passengers to connect with UTA which provides bus service between Brigham City and Ogden, as well as provides Frontrunner rail service between Ogden and Salt Lake City. This route could also provide service through Wellsville as an alternate route. This would increase the running time and mileage by a small amount. | Proposed | Link (Page 294) | |
| CVTA - Logan to Pleasant View | The furthest north UTA’s Frontrunner rail service operates is Pleasant View Station, just north of Ogden. The Frontrunner operates two morning and two afternoon weekday commuter Southbound Station to Salt Lake City departures from the Pleasant View | Proposed | Link (Page 296) | |
| CVTA - Logan to Wellsville | Community input has expressed the desire for CVTD bus service to Wellsville, as well as the USU Dairy Farm located just north of Wellsville. | Proposed | Link (Page 299) | |
| CVTA - Logan to Tremonton | Another option is extending CVTD bus service to Tremonton based on community input. | Proposed | Link (Page 301) | |
| CVTA - Logan to Rich County | Another option for expanding CVTD’s current service area is extending CVTD bus service to Logan Canyon and Rich County in order to serve more rural locations and recreation areas, like Beaver Mountain and the campgrounds along Hwy. 89. | Proposed | Link (Page 303) | |
| CVTA - Logan Airport | CVTD has received requests in the past to serve Logan Airport. The airport is a general aviation facility without commercial air service. Demand would be passengers in private aircraft arriving in Logan and aviation students commuting to the airport for training. | Proposed | Link (Page 305) | |
| CATS - Division of single route into North, Central, and Southern Loop | Current CATS headways are long and limited route reach can negatively impact ridership in the scheduled route system. Optimizing CATS routes might include splitting the current continuous bus routes into three different loops as well as expanding service west of I-15. The new system can decrease headways and make travel more efficient for transit riders. Funds for transit improvements include UDOT and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). | Proposed | Link (Page 62) | |
| SunTran - Airport BRT Route | A bus rapid transit line, servicing St George Airport is a viable service in the long term. However, in the short term interim bus service should be provided to begin phasing toward a BRT line. The St George Urbanized Area Short Range and Long Range Transit Plan (2006) identifies an express route to the airport. To maximize efficiency, the route schedule should be coordinated with air service | Proposed | Link (page 47) | |
| SunTran - Hurricane BRT Route | The Dixie Bus Rapid Transit Feasibility Study (BRT study) and the Hurricane to Zion Canyon Transit Study both point to the potential short term and long term viability of transit service in this corridor. | Proposed | Link (Page 46) | |
| SunTran - Hurricane to Zion NP Route | The Hurricane to Zion Canyon Transit Study evaluates and recommends transit service between Hurricane and Zion National Park. After analyzing demand in the corridor, the study recommends implementing fixed-route transit service with 60 minute headways. | Proposed | Link (Page 46) | |
| SunTran - Washington City Route | A concept route to Washington City was presented in the Dixie MPO Regional Transit Study. In 2014, Washington City began the process of formulating an agreement with SunTran to institute a fixed route that connects to the existing bus system with complementary para-transit service. | Proposed | Link (Page 46) |
