The state of Utah is excited to get moving on some trail projects!
After receiving its initial funding in 2023, the UDOT Trails Division met with partner agencies across Utah to develop a list of high-priority trail projects that:
Meet the Utah Trail Network Guiding Principles
Provide a transportation benefit to users
Serve communities across the state
Could feasibly begin construction within two years
These high-priority projects were ranked using the TIF Active Capacity Model and prioritized for funding, and a total of 19 trail projects received approval from the Utah Transportation Commission in the spring of 2024. An additional project was approved and programmed in the fall of 2025, for a total of 20 trail projects funded during the initial programming cycle.

This map shows the active Utah Trail Network projects that have been funded by the UDOT Trails Division. The projects are symbolized according to their projected start year, and are categorized into two project types:
For Construction - Projects that have an identified alignment and are ready to start the project delivery process
Feasibility Study - Projects that require further investigation to determine an appropriate, cost-efficient alignment

Initial Programming Access to Opportunities Evaluation
Initial Programming Access to Opportunities Evaluation
Access to Opportunities is a way to measure how well people can connect to fundamental needs and amenities within their community. These amenities include jobs, schools, grocery and other retail, parks, and healthcare centers.
The Utah Trail Network Access to Opportunities Dashboard shows the results of an assessment completed by the Trails Division in 2024. The dashboard illustrates the community amenities located within a 10-minute biking or walking distance of the 19 initial programmed* Utah Trail Network projects.
Highlights of the dashboard:
Within a 10 minute walk shed of all projects roughly 40 more community amenities are accessible than without the projects.
Within a 10 minute bike shed of all projects roughly 190 more community amenities are accessible than without the projects.
*The Access to Opportunities Evaluation does not include the SR-7: Southern Parkway Trail, which was funded in 2025.
Prioritization Process Results
Prioritization Process Results
The UDOT Trails Division uses the TIF Active Capacity Model to rank high-priority Utah Trail Network projects from the Unified Plan each fiscal year. This ranked list serves as a decision-support tool for making project funding recommendations. Additional project context is also considered when making final recommendations.
