The Midvalley Express (MVX}, originally known as the Taylorsville-Murray BRT and later as Midvalley Connector) is an under construction bus rapid transit (BRT) line anticipated to run between Murray and West Valley City (passing through Taylorsville) in Utah, United States, that will be operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA).[1]: 1–2  It will connect the main campus of Salt Lake Community College (SLCC) in Taylorsville with both the TRAX light rail system and the FrontRunner commuter rail. It is the fourth (third currently operating) of several BRT lines that UTA is planning along the Wasatch Front. Bus Rapid Transit is described by UTA as "light rail on rubber tires".[2]
