Provo -
Get in
The most used way to get to Provo is to fly into Salt Lake City, and drive or catch a shuttle from the Airport. The drive follows I-15 and usually takes about 45 minutes with no traffic, but can take up to an hour and a half during heavy traffic.
You can also take the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) bus system. A bus passes through the airport parking garage and takes about three hours to get to Provo from Salt Lake City.
Get around
UTA operates its bus system throughout much of Provo and Orem, but service in the rest of Utah County is sparse when compared to Salt Lake County. Besides buses, automobiles, walking, and cycling are the only ways to get around.
