Utah Transportation
Utah is located in the western United States. Northern Utah is generally considered a part of the Rocky Mountain States. Climate and landscape make Southern Utah more closely aligned with the southwestern U.S. Upon reaching Utah, you will quickly see why accessibility is one of the bonuses of being here.
If you want your own wheels, choose to rent a car or four-wheel drive vehicle. Private transit services are available for any destination and the Utah Transit Authority offers regular public transportation along the Wasatch Front.
