Utah Valley Express (UVX)

Cache Valley Electric’s Signal & Utility division played a critical role in finishing Utah Transit Authority’s Utah Valley Express line. UVX for short, is a bus rapid transit (BRT) line similar to UTA TRAX that features articulated buses that reduce travel times by using exclusive bus lanes and traffic signal priority. The UVX line was completed in 2018, and runs 10.5 miles from Orem to Provo, Utah.
