Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Utah Transit Authority buses run all over Provo and have a couple of stops along BYU’s campus; they’re also an effective way to get to Salt Lake. Most big apartment complexes have a bus stop right in front of them, and the buses run fairly regularly. While this is not a perfect solution to the lack of parking at BYU, it does help.

As for getting around in the city, it is possible to survive without a car, though not enjoyable. Provo is fairly spread out, and not everything is accessible by bus. There is no metro or train system to augment the bus system. Salt Lake is a bit better with the TRAX system, but Utah still has much to learn about efficient public transportation. To check out options, see the Utah Transit Authority Web site at www.utabus.com.

Lots of Different Options

There are plenty of bike lanes to ride your bike on, and the campus is very biker-friendly with bike posts all over. Many people drive cars too but there is limited parking so most students just walk or ride their bikes. There is a regular, reliable bus schedule for anyone needing further rides.

Most people drive themselves. Buses are available, but don't run as often as a major city. It is reasonably cheap to buy a bus pass for the month or semester. Not much of a need though as everything is pretty close to campus.

Nearest AirportWhat's This?

Salt Lake City Airport

little over 50 miles from BYU, and it will take you about an hour to get there by car. Make sure to give yourself plenty of time to get there, as freeway construction is common, especially around the interchanges needed to get to the airport.
