The plan emphasizes both campus pathways and on-street facilities that connect the core campus area with surrounding neighborhoods. The Bicycle Master Plan gives guidelines for facilities and programs that are within the University's jurisdiction. It also provides recommendations for the University to work with external entities such as UDOT, UTA, and Salt Lake City to improve bicycling conditions in locations that are important to the campus environment, but which are not under the University's direct control.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://unews.utah.edu/news_releases/new-campus-master-plan-being-developed/|title=University of Utah News Center β New Campus Master Plan Being Developed|access-date=April 30, 2012|archive-date=June 29, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629195825/http://unews.utah.edu/news_releases/new-campus-master-plan-being-developed/|url-status=dead}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://facilities.utah.edu/campus-planning/master-plan/bicycle.php|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130112154933/http://facilities.utah.edu/campus-planning/master-plan/bicycle.php|url-status=dead|archive-date=January 12, 2013|title=University of Utah Facilities Management- Bicycle Master Plan|access-date=February 17, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://facilities.utah.edu/static-content/facilitiesmanagement/files/pdf/UniversityOfUtah-BicycleMasterPlan.pdf|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120629165439/http://facilities.utah.edu/static-content/facilitiesmanagement/files/pdf/UniversityOfUtah-BicycleMasterPlan.pdf|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 29, 2012|title=University of Utah Bicycle Master Plan (18.45 MB)|year=2011|publisher=University of Utah|pages=201|access-date=April 30, 2012}}</ref>
