Development and Transportation

The Jordan River Trail is a key regional transportation route connecting communities along the Wasatch Front. Enhancing its role as a transportation corridor will be critical to reducing traffic congestion, improving air quality, promoting public health, and increasing quality of life. Improving access to the Jordan River Parkway in general is also important because it is a popular destination. The following goals and strategies aim to increase access to the Jordan River Trail and Parkway by improving east-west active transportation connections, enhancing UTA transit stops, ensuring access to the Parkway from all areas of the region, increasing trailhead visibility, and creating targeted programs that raise the public’s awareness of the Jordan River Trail.
