5600 West BRT is a proposed bus rapid transit (BRT) line in western Salt Lake County, Utah, United States, that will be operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) and will run along 5600 West (SR-172). Initially, it will only run along a short segment almost entirely within West Valley City, with a connection to Downtown Salt Lake City. However, it will eventually run from South Jordan to the Salt Lake City International Airport.) It is the fifth of several BRT lines that UTA either operates or has planned for in Utah County and the Salt Lake Valley.[2] UTA's BRT is described by UTA as "light rail on rubber tires".[3] While it was initially planned for phase 1 of the project to be completed in 2015,[1] the project is currently stalled.
