MOVE UTAH
ACTIVE, HEALTHY, CONNECTED COMMUNITIES
What is Move Utah?
Move Utah is an active transportation community planning program operated by the Utah Department of Transportation. In collaboration with partner agencies, including Bike Utah, Department of Health, Department of Public Safety and Utah Highway Patrol, we engage and empower local communities to consider and embrace active transportation through planning, events, education and infrastructure development.
WHY IS ACTIVE TRANSPORTATION IMPORTANT?
Active Transportation refers to human powered travel—usually walking and biking. Collaborating with our partners, we promote respect and safety on Utah’s roadways through education, encouragement and infrastructure development. This program and its partners support active transportation planning efforts by providing guidance, tools and resources that can assist communities in reaching their active transportation goals and visions. We aim to Keep Utah Moving by inspiring healthy, active and connected communities.
