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.

Cost

The bus system is great... if you can afford it. The price of a bus pass that lasts just one semester is ridiculous! You'd have to really be desperate for transportation to pay that much, in my opinion.

OK

There is a great student rate for the UTA Bus system to get from housing areas to campus and shuttles to and from the airport directly on Campus. parking is difficult but manageable.

I Guess There Are Busses

There are buses, but it is expensive. I would suggest buying a scooter.

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.
