Utah/Transit
Public transportation in Utah (rail, bus) is operated by these agencies:
- Amtrak® serves Green River, Helper, Provo and Salt Lake City via its California Zephyr℠ route (Chicago to San Francisco Bay Area)
- UTA serves the Wasatch Front
- Suntran serves St. George
- Park City Transit serves Park City
- High Valley Transit (HVT) serves the Wasatch Back (Routes to/from Kimball Junction, Park City, Heber, and Francis)
- Cache Valley Transit District (CVTD) serves Logan and nearby towns
- Cedar Area Transportation System (CATS) serves Cedar City
Additionally, several universities have shuttle systems:
- University of Utah
- Brigham Young University (Run by Student Movement Inc)
- Utah State University
Finally, two of the National Parks in Utah have shuttles:
From what I understand from the National Park Service's Disclaimer, their GTFS data is public domain.
General mapping guidance
Transit mapping should follow the new Public Transport schema (v2) as described in Public_transport. This means, among other things:
- Separate route relations for each direction and route variant
- Two nodes for each bus stop, one indicating the stop position on the way using
public_transport=stop_position
, the other indicating the bus stop sign by the side of the road, including any amenities usingpublic_transport=platform
(even if there is no platform).
Open Data
The Utah AGRC agency makes UTA transit routes and stops available as open data. An overview of the data available can be found here. There are no plans to import these data currently. (May 2018)
Tools
PTNA provides a daily analysis of all public transport route_master and route relation on it's US sub-page. Local mappers may compile and complete the CSV list of expected (= exist in reality) Routes in this wiki.
Utah Transit Authority (UTA)
UTA operates commuter rail (FrontRunner), light rail (TRAX), a streetcar/tram (S-Line) and bus service. For all of Utah's passenger trains (including the previous, Amtrak® and Tourism rail), see Utah/Railroads#Passenger_trains. Bus service is found in its own section below.

Bus
Local tagging conventions
We generally follow standard practices for bus route relations:
For UTA bus route naming, we adopt the following rules:
- We use the official route names as shown on the UTA Schedules pages for the
name=*
tag on theroute_master=*
relation. For example, UTA calls Route 209 '900 East', so that is what goes into thename=*
tag on theroute_master=*
relation. - On the individual routes,
name=*
is not recommended. All the information that should go into the name according to the (much discussed, and still controversial) guidance on the Public transport page is already contained in the other tags likeref=*
,from=*
andto=*
. If you see a bus route relation that is not a master relation, feel free to delete the name tag.
This Overpass query will retrieve all bus route relations and masters in Utah.
