The '''Utah Transit Authority''' ('''UTA''') is a special service district responsible for providing public transportation throughout the [[Wasatch Front]] of [[Utah]], in the [[United States]], which includes the metropolitan areas of [[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]], [[Park City, Utah|Park City]], [[Provo, Utah|Provo]], [[Salt Lake City]] and [[Tooele, Utah|Tooele]]. It operates fixed route buses, flex route buses, express buses, ski buses, three [[light rail]] lines in [[Salt Lake County]] ([[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]]), a [[Tram|streetcar]] line in Salt Lake City ([[S Line (UTA)|the S-Line]]), and a [[Commuter rail in North America|commuter rail]] train (''[[FrontRunner]]'') from Ogden through Salt Lake City to Provo. UTA is headquartered in [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]] with operations and garages in locations throughout the Wasatch Front, including Ogden, Midvale and [[Orem Utah|Orem]]. Light rail vehicles are stored and maintained at yards at locations in [[South Salt Lake, Utah|South Salt Lake]] and [[Midvale, Utah|Midvale]]. UTA's commuter rail equipment is stored and serviced at a facility in Salt Lake City. In {{American transit ridership|annualdate}}, the system had a ridership of {{American transit ridership|UT Salt Lake City total annual}}, or about {{American transit ridership|UT Salt Lake City total daily}} per weekday as of {{American transit ridership|dailydateasof}}.

== History ==
The Utah Transit Authority traces its roots to 1953 when several bus companies united to form the organization. Ironically, among the constitutive companies of the UTA was [[National City Lines]], famous for its alleged cannibalization of American streetcar lines on behalf of General Motors. NSL had bought out and promptly decommissioned the electric [[Tram|trolleys]] operated by the Utah Light and Traction Company in Salt Lake City neighborhoods like [[The Avenues, Salt Lake City|the Avenues]] in the 1940s.

Throughout the 1950s buses became more and more unpopular, with low gas prices and subsidized construction of highways like [[Interstate 15 in Utah|Interstate 15]]. By 1960, bus ridership was only about one third the level of war-time Salt Lake, and the average age of riders was 14{{cn|date=November 2025}}.

In 1969, the Utah State Legislature passed the Utah Public Transit District Act, which allowed individual communities to address transportation needs by forming local transit districts. UTA was subsequently founded on March 3, 1970, when the cities of [[Sandy, Utah|Sandy]], Salt Lake City, and [[Murray, Utah|Murray]] voted to form a transit district.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700068895/Utah-Transit-Authority-has-long-winding-road-of-history.html?pg=all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160301194941/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700068895/Utah-Transit-Authority-has-long-winding-road-of-history.html?pg=all |url-status=dead |archive-date=March 1, 2016 |title=Utah Transit Authority has long, winding road of history |last=Arave |first=Lynn |date=September 26, 2010 |newspaper=[[Deseret News]] |access-date=April 23, 2015}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=4527548 |title=Company Overview of Utah Transit Authority |publisher=Bloomberg Business |access-date=April 23, 2015}}</ref> Service was extended to Weber and Davis counties in 1973 and to Utah County in 1985.<ref name="UTArails">{{Cite web |url=http://www.utahrails.net/articles/motor-coach-age4.php |title=Motor Coach Age, Part 4 |last=Wilkins |first=Van |date=Oct 1988 |website=Motor Coach Age |issn=0739-117X |access-date=June 24, 2012}}</ref> Today, the UTA's service area is over {{convert|1400|sqmi|km2|sigfig=2}} and covers seven counties: [[Box Elder County, Utah|Box Elder]], [[Davis County, Utah|Davis]], [[Salt Lake County, Utah|Salt Lake]], [[Summit County, Utah|Summit]], [[Tooele County, Utah|Tooele]], [[Utah County, Utah|Utah]], and [[Weber County, Utah|Weber]].

UTA saw rapid expansion through the mid-1970s and 1980s. It strove to streamline the bus system, connecting the east and west sides of the [[Salt Lake Valley]] with east–west routes along 2100 South, 3300 South/3500 South, and 4500 South/4700 South, in 1975. Four bus routes to Granger, Hunter (which today comprise [[West Valley City, Utah|West Valley City]]), [[Kearns, Utah|Kearns]], [[Magna, Utah|Magna]], and [[Tooele, Utah|Tooele]] were also created the same year. Sunday service on 25 routes began in 1975, only to be removed in 1988. (Sunday service resumed in 2001.)<ref name="sltribsunday">{{Cite news |url=http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=SLTB&p_theme=sltb&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=100E7F6B9B625823&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM |title=UTA to Add 16 Bus Routes for Sundays |last=Keahey |first=John |date=January 25, 2001 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=June 24, 2012 |location=Salt Lake City |pages=B2}}</ref> In 1976, the UTA began offering ski bus service to [[Alta Ski Area|Alta]], [[Brighton Ski Resort|Brighton]], [[Snowbird ski resort|Snowbird]], and [[Solitude Ski Resort|Solitude]] ski resorts in Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons. Today, the UTA offers seasonal buses to those four resorts as well as [[Snowbasin Resort]] and [[Powder Mountain]] in [[Weber County, Utah|Weber County]] and [[Sundance Ski Resort|Sundance Resort]] in Utah County.<ref name="UTArails" />

Since the turn of the century, the entire service area of UTA has seen bus route redesigns, beginning with Utah County in 2000. Weber and Davis Counties saw an overhaul of their bus routing in 2002. The largest and most comprehensive change in routing occurred in August 2007 in Salt Lake County, with the goal of increasing ridership by twelve percent. Prior to 2007, night service had different numbering and routing than regular daytime service. After the redesign, nighttime routes were to retain the same routing and numbering as their daytime counterparts. Routes were consolidated as well, with 69 routes reduced to 60. Fifteen-minute service during weekday daytime hours was extended from two to 11 routes, and all other routes in the system had 30-minute service during weekday peak hours at the very least. "Fast buses," which connected suburbs to the city and charged the same fare as local buses (as opposed to express buses, which required a higher fare), were also introduced and expanded.<ref name="sltribredesign">{{Cite news |url=http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=6717378&itype=NGPSID |title=UTA ready for biggest change in bus routes |last=Henetz |first=Patty |date=August 25, 2007 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=June 24, 2012 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]]}}</ref><ref name="redesigninfo">{{Cite web |url=ftp://ftrftp.slcgov.com/attachments/030607A1.pdf |title=Salt Lake Bus Route Redesign |last=Utah Transit Authority |year=2007 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181113042104/ftp://ftrftp.slcgov.com/attachments/030607A1.pdf |archive-date=2018-11-13 |url-status=dead |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref> The redesign proposal was met with criticism, with low-income advocacy groups claiming that the redesign focused too heavily on commuters rather than the disadvantaged.<ref name="sltribtoughsell">{{Cite news |url=http://www.sltrib.com/news/ci_5632181 |title=UTA redesign a tough sell to ridership |last=Henetz |first=Patty |date=April 10, 2007 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=June 24, 2012 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref> The route redesign achieved its intended goal—from 2007 to 2011, bus ridership in the entire system increased from 77,500 to 88,700, an increase of 18 percent.<ref name="APTA 07 Q1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Documents/Ridership/2007_q1_ridership_APTA.pdf |title=Public Transportation Ridership Report First Quarter 2007 |date=July 6, 2007 |website=apta.com |publisher=[[American Public Transportation Association]] |pages=28 |access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref><ref name="APTA 11 Q1">{{Cite web |url=http://www.apta.com/resources/statistics/Documents/Ridership/2011_q1_ridership_APTA.pdf |title=Transit Ridership Report First Quarter 2011 |date=May 13, 2011 |website=apta.com |publisher=[[American Public Transportation Association]] |page=28 |access-date=March 16, 2013}}</ref>

Beginning in 2010, a decline in funding that UTA was receiving from sales tax revenues resulted in service reductions. Fast bus trips were substantially reduced, with many fast bus routes being cut altogether. Saturday and night service saw cuts as well.<ref name="changeday2010">{{Cite web |url=http://rideuta.com/ridingUTA/routeChanges/default.aspx |title=Riding UTA |date=February 9, 2010 |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100209040828/http://rideuta.com/ridingUTA/routeChanges/default.aspx |archive-date=February 9, 2010 |access-date=June 24, 2012}}</ref> The opening of two new [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]] extensions exacerbated bus route service cuts, especially in the western side of the valley; routes that previously traveled from the western suburbs to downtown would end at [[Green Line (TRAX)|Green Line]] stations, with riders expected to complete the rest of their journeys via the Green Line.

Amidst the service cuts and rail expansions, UTA struck a deal with Park City and Summit County to begin operating an express bus between Salt Lake City and Park City in October 2011. This express service was called [[#PC-SLC Connect|PC-SLC Connect]] until [[High Valley Transit]] took over the route with its 107 service.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-12-08 |title=New commuter bus route from SLC to Park City rolls out this weekend |url=https://www.kpcw.org/state-regional/2022-12-08/new-commuter-bus-route-from-slc-to-park-city-rolls-out-this-weekend |access-date=2024-01-07 |website=KPCW {{!}} Listen Like a Local |language=en}}</ref>

== Bus service ==
[[File:Two Ski Buses at Snowbird.jpg|thumb|Ski Buses at Snowbird Ski Area.]]
UTA currently offers over 120 bus routes within its operational area.<ref name="utaschedules" group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/ridinguta/routes/routefinder.aspx |title=Route Finder |last=Route Finder |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=June 24, 2012}}</ref>  Most of these routes provide regular transportation throughout the day, while many are primarily commuter routes. Some are special services, such as ski routes that only operate seasonally. Current ski routes include route 972 (Brighton/Solitude/Midvale), route 994 (Alta/Snowbird/Sandy), Route 880 (Sundance/Provo), route 674 (Powder Mountain/Ogden), route 675 (Snowbasin/Ogden) and route 677 (Snowbasin/Layton). Occasionally, will also offer service for special events or extend service on certain days of the year such as New Year's Eve.<ref name="Holiday">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/Rider-Info/Holiday-Service |title=Holiday Service Schedule |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref> UTA regularly modifies or changes its bus routes, but whenever reasonably possible (other than temporary detours) limits the adjustments to [[#Change Day|Change Days]]. The majority of bus routes stay within the Ogden to Provo corridor, with limited service south to Santaquin, in Utah County, and north to Brigham City, in Box Elder County. Service to Santaquin is limited to one route, the 805, which is an Express bus to Utah Valley University. In Brigham City, Rt. 630 connects Downtown Brigham City with the Ogden Transit Center. Rt. F638, (F stands for Flex route) runs around Brigham City approximately every hour from 8am-4pm every weekday, no weekend service.

{{main|Utah Transit Authority bus rapid transit}}

The [[Utah Valley Express]] line operates between Provo Central station and Orem Central station via [[Brigham Young University]] and [[Utah Valley University]], utilizing a dedicated busway across most of the route located in the center median of University Parkway, University Avenue, and East 700 North. The line opened in August 2018 and uses 60-foot articulated buses with doors on both sides of the bus to load passengers from busway stations located in the center median.

The [[Ogden Express]] line is a line between [[Ogden Central station]] and [[McKay-Dee Hospital]], utilizing a dedicated busway that cuts through the campus of [[Weber State University]] and in the center median of Harrison Boulevard. On August 29, 2022, a short section of the line, entirely on the Weber State University busway opened. The rest of the line opened on August 20, 2023. The line uses 40-foot battery-electric buses.<ref>{{cite news|last=O'Donoghue|first=Joi|url=https://www.deseret.com/utah/2021/4/13/22381905/ogden-to-host-states-first-all-electric-rapid-bus-service-environment-clean-air-uta-wsu-frontrunner|title=Ogden to host state's first, all-electric 'rapid' bus service|newspaper=[[Deseret News]]|date=April 11, 2021|access-date=April 15, 2021}}</ref>

=== Free trolley service ===
[[File:UTA Bus 18104.jpg|thumb|UTA Trolley on route 601 in Ogden.]]
UTA has two bus routes that run trolley-replica buses, the 601, and 667, which serve [[Ogden, Utah|Ogden]], and [[Farmington, Utah|Farmington]] ([[Lagoon (amusement park)|Lagoon amusement park]]), respectively. Service is free on these routes. All two routes run 30-minute service on weekdays, and 60-minute service on Saturdays. None of the two routes run on Sunday.[[File:UTA Bus 19201.jpg|thumb|UTA Flex bus on route F590]]

=== Flex routes ===
UTA has 17 bus routes that are allowed to deviate up to {{convert|3/4|mi|km}} from their set route to pick up or drop off passengers.<ref name="2016 Fast Facts" group="U" /> These "flexible" routes are called '''Flex''' routes and are indicated by the letter "F" at the beginning of the route number (e.g. F618). Flex routes combine the convenience of curb-to-curb service with regular fixed routes making them a viable option for many [[paratransit]] riders. Certain rules and restrictions apply to Flex routes:<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.metro-magazine.com/news/story/2010/08/UTA-flexes-new-transportation-solution.aspx |title=Utah Transit Authority uses flex route program to fill service gaps |date=August 25, 2010 |work=[[Metro Magazine]] |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://archive.sltrib.com/article.php?id=9020621&itype=storyID&keyword=&qtype= |title=New flex-bus routes allow riders more options |last=McKitrick |first=Kathy |date=May 5, 2010 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=November 26, 2012 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref><ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=UTA-Home-FLEX |title=UTA FLEX |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref>
*Only two deviations are allowed per trip; however, even with deviations, routes maintain a schedule and never depart designated stops early.
*Riding Flex routes costs the same as regular routes; however, the cost for deviations is an additional $1.25<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/-/media/Files/Fact-Sheets/FLEX_Routes_2016.ashx?la=en |title=Flex Routes 2016 |last=Flex Routes 2016 |website=www.rideuta.com |publisher=RideUTA |access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref> (in addition to the regular fare).
*Deviations may be scheduled up to seven days in advance but not less than two hours prior to travel time and can be made by calling 801-BUS-RIDE (801-287-7433) between 8:30&nbsp;a.m. and 3 p.m.

=== Paratransit ===
[[File:Utah Transit Authority Paratransit bus.JPG|thumb|UTA paratransit bus]]
Throughout its area of operation, UTA provides [[paratransit]] service in addition to its FLEX routes for qualifying disabled passengers that are unable to, either temporarily or permanently, utilized the other transportation services provided by UTA (including bus service, TRAX, the S-Line, and ''FrontRunner''). Although the cost to UTA for this service is substantial to UTA, the fare remains the same for passengers.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/uploads/FactSheets_paratransit_2012.pdf |title=Paratransit |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=November 26, 2012}}</ref>

Paratransit fare is $4 for one-way curb-to-curb transportation. Riders must be pre-qualified to use the service.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/Fares-And-Passes/Current-Fares |title=Current Fares |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref>

=== Transit centers ===
UTA operates three transit centers which are open and staffed by customer service personnel during [[business hours]] (or extended business hours) Monday through Friday (except holidays). The first two are [[Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub|Salt Lake Central station]] and [[Ogden Central station]], which are both served by ''FrontRunner'' and inter-county and local bus service (as well as TRAX, in the case of Salt Lake Central).  All other transportation hubs operated by UTA (including [[Central Pointe station|Central Pointe]], [[Murray Central station|Murray Central]], [[West Valley Central station|West Valley Central]], [[Orem Central station|Orem Central]] and [[Provo Central station|Provo]]) stations are not staffed by customer service personnel.

In addition to the transit centers, UTA offers customer service by telephone for extended business hours Monday through Saturday.  In addition to [[English language|English]], assistance can usually be provided in the following languages: [[Chinese language|Chinese]], [[French language|French]], [[Spanish language|Spanish]], [[Tongan language|Tongan]], and [[Vietnamese language|Vietnamese]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=AboutUTA-CustomerService |title=Customer Service |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 5, 2012}}</ref>

== Routes ==

{{Main|List of UTA Routes}}
As of November 2025, UTA operates three light rail lines ([[TRAX]]), one commuter rail line ([[FrontRunner]]), two [[Utah Transit Authority bus rapid transit|BRT lines]], a streetcar line (the [[S Line (Utah Transit Authority)|S-Line]]), and approximately 120 regular bus routes.

== TRAX light rail ==
{{Main|TRAX (light rail)}}
[[File:Red Line Trax at Daybreak Parkway.jpg|thumb|279x279px|A [[Red Line (TRAX)|Red Line]] [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]] train stationed at [[Daybreak Parkway station]]]]
Population growth and accompanying congestion led to the study of the feasibility of [[light rail]] in the Salt Lake Valley in the early 1990s. A 1993 initiative to use tax revenues to purchase an underutilized rail corridor for potential light rail use was rejected by Salt Lake County voters. The County Commission opposed increasing taxes for light rail and even hired a lobbyist to this end. Nonetheless, the Utah Transit Authority moved forward and was able to make the purchase using other available funds.
[[File:Blue Line at 200 S..jpg|thumb|279x279px|A Blue Line TRAX Train crossing 200 South.]]
[[File:UTA Blue Line at U of U.jpg|alt=A TRAX light rail train with a sign displaying "UTA" in blue text.|thumb|278x278px|A [[Siemens SD-100 and SD-160|Siemens SD-160]] [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]] train parked at the University Medical station for special event service; fitted with an upgraded PA system.]]
UTA also lobbied for funding and in August 1995 won $240 million from the federal government as part of the budget for [[Interstate 15 in Utah|I-15]] reconstruction. The light rail system was called [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]]. This federal grant amounted to over two-thirds the cost of the [[Blue Line (TRAX)|Blue Line]] to Sandy, and further bills would fund a [[Red Line (TRAX)|second line]] to the [[University of Utah]]. Salt Lake City's successful bid to host the [[2002 Winter Olympics]] gave the light rail project some priority over transit projects in other cities competing for federal funds; [[United States Secretary of Transportation|Secretary of Transportation]] [[Federico Peña]] explained, "The Winter Olympics in Salt Lake are not just Salt Lake's Olympics. They are the nation's Olympics." Nonetheless, UTA's cost-effective light rail project merited the support of the [[Federal Transit Administration]] and would have been funded and constructed regardless of the Olympics.

TRAX became operational December 4, 1999, with an initial route of {{convert|17.3|miles|km}}—the Blue Line, then simply dubbed the Sandy/Salt Lake Line—from Sandy to [[Downtown Salt Lake City]]. In celebration, UTA offered free rides on the new line all day, and local residents stood in long lines to be packed into the new light rail cars. The Blue Line was expanded in April 2008 to [[Salt Lake Intermodal Hub|Salt Lake Central station]], and as part of UTA's FrontLines 2015 project, a three-station expansion of the line further south to [[Draper, Utah|Draper]] was completed.

Due to federal funding, the initial {{convert|2.3|miles|km}} of the [[Red Line (TRAX)|Red Line]] (or the [[University Line (TRAX)|University Line]], as it was initially named), from downtown Salt Lake to the University of Utah, was operational by December 15, 2001—after 16 months of construction and well ahead of the original schedule. Construction was expedited to be completed before the 2002 Winter Olympics, to enable spectators to take TRAX to the opening ceremonies at [[Rice-Eccles Stadium]]. In light of heightened security in the wake of the [[September 11 attacks|9/11 attacks]], however, light rail service was suspended during the opening and closing ceremonies. Buses were used instead, and though also vulnerable, transported attendees without incident. An extension of {{convert|1.5|miles|km}} further east to the [[University of Utah Hospital|University of Utah Medical Center]] was completed September 29, 2003, and an expansion of {{convert|10.6|miles|km}} to [[South Jordan, Utah|South Jordan]] in the southwestern corner of the metropolitan area opened on August 7, 2011, with service to the [[Daybreak (community)|Daybreak Community]]. At this same time TRAX lines began to be referred to by a color-coded name (rather than destinations) and the Red Line trains no longer traveled downtown, instead bypassing the city center and heading south and then southwest.

The success of TRAX led to the creation of a third line—the [[Green Line (TRAX)|Green Line]]—which runs from the [[Airport station (UTA)|Airport station]] at the [[Salt Lake International Airport]] through Downtown Salt Lake City to [[West Valley Central station]] in [[West Valley City, Utah|West Valley City]]. This line also originally opened on August 7, 2011, and services 18 stations. The [[Green Line (TRAX)#Airport extension|Airport extension]] of the Green Line, which added six new stations and provided rail service from downtown Salt Lake City to the Salt Lake International Airport for the first time, opened for service on April 14, 2013.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.ksl.com/index.php?nid=210&sid=16636010 |title=Press gets sneak peek at new TRAX lines |last=Daley |first=John |date=August 2, 2011 |work=[[KSL-TV|ksl.com]] |access-date=August 3, 2011 |publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref>

== ''FrontRunner'' commuter rail ==
{{Main|FrontRunner}}
[[File:FrontRunner at Central Station.jpg|thumb|275x275px|A ''[[FrontRunner]]'' train at [[Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub|Salt Lake Central]]]]
In 2002, UTA announced a deal with [[Union Pacific]] to purchase a segment of track and right-of-way for a [[Commuter rail in North America|commuter rail]] line from Salt Lake City to [[Pleasant View, Utah|Pleasant View]], just northwest of Ogden. The new commuter train was named the ''FrontRunner'' in reference to the fact that it was intended to run up and down the [[Wasatch Front]]. Construction on the ''FrontRunner'' corridor began on August 10, 2005; seven stations opened running from Ogden to Salt Lake City on April 26, 2008. As part of the FrontLines 2015 project, the commuter rail corridor has been expanded south {{convert|44|mi|km}} to Provo. Service began on the new southern extension on December 10, 2012.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.utabus.com/files/flfrontrunnersouthfactsheet.pdf |title=FrontLines 2015: ''FrontRunner'' South |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121021031504/http://www.utabus.com/files/flfrontrunnersouthfactsheet.pdf |archive-date=October 21, 2012 |access-date=March 6, 2013 |df=mdy-all}}</ref><ref name="sltribprovo">{{Cite news |url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/53865229-78/public-april-provo-uta.html.csp |title=''FrontRunner'' line to Provo to open on Dec. 10 |last=Miller |first=Jessica |date=April 5, 2012 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=June 24, 2012 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref> Future expansion may extend the corridor north to [[Brigham City, Utah|Brigham City]] in Box Elder County, and south to [[Payson, Utah|Payson]] and then [[Santaquin, Utah|Santaquin]], with the possibility of even extending as far south as [[Nephi, Utah|Nephi]] in [[Juab County, Utah|Juab County]].<ref name="2016 Fast Facts" group="U" /><ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.heraldextra.com/news/local/article_2bfca76b-4c96-58e5-a548-4d3aa6009166.html |title=Utah County ''FrontRunner'' expansion on track |last=Stryker |first=Ace |date=January 14, 2009 |work=[[Daily Herald (Utah)|Daily Herald]] |access-date=September 24, 2010 |publisher=[[Lee Enterprises]] |location=Provo, Utah}}</ref>

[[File:S Line streetcar at Fairmont stop.jpg|thumb|273x273px|An [[S Line (UTA)|S Line]] streetcar at the [[S Line (UTA)#Fairmont|Fairmont]] stop]]
The [[S Line (UTA)|S Line]] (formerly known as Sugar House Streetcar) is a [[Tram|streetcar]] transit line that connects [[Sugar House, Salt Lake City|Sugar House]] (a neighborhood of Salt Lake City) with the neighboring city of [[South Salt Lake, Utah|South Salt Lake]], as well as the UTA TRAX system. It is a joint project between UTA, Salt Lake City, and South Salt Lake. The S-Line runs along the old [[Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad]] (D&RGW) line (which lies between 2100 South and the [[Interstate 80 in Utah|I-80]] freeway) from the [[Central Pointe station|Central Pointe TRAX Station]] in South Salt Lake east to McClelland Street (1040 East) in Salt Lake City. The S Line line differs slightly from the TRAX lines in that it travels a slower speed, stops more often, and has "stops" instead of "stations".<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/politics/56795317-90/east-goeres-stops-trains.html.csp |title=Sugar House streetcar testing begins next week |last=Davidson |first=Lee |date=August 28, 2013 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=September 17, 2013 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.shstreetcar.com/files/SHFAQ.pdf |title=Sugar House Streetcar FAQs |page=1 |access-date=June 22, 2013}}</ref> It is also intended for shorter trips than TRAX, as the initial length of the entire line is only about {{convert|2|miles|km}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865585869/New-streetcar-S-line-set-to-open-Dec-8-in-Sugar-House.html?pg=all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921053754/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865585869/New-streetcar-S-line-set-to-open-Dec-8-in-Sugar-House.html?pg=all |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 21, 2013 |title=New streetcar S-line set to open Dec. 8 in Sugar House |last=Vo-Duc |first=Viviane |date=September 5, 2013 |publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]] |location=Salt Lake City |access-date=September 17, 2013 |newspaper=[[Deseret News]]}}</ref>

Phase 1 of the S-Line opened for service on December 8, 2013. Future plans (Phase 2) include extending the line to run further north through Sugar House, but funding for the extension has not yet been secured.

In addition to the S-Line, several other areas in and around Salt Lake City are being evaluated for similar streetcar lines, but no specific projects have been announced so far.{{fact|date=April 2025}}

== Rideshare ==
UTA also provides many commuting alternatives through UTA Rideshare. Many of the Rideshare options involve a combination other transportation alternatives (e.g., bicycle lockers at rail stations, bicycle racks on buses as well as the ''FrontRunner'' and TRAX trains). While many of these alternatives are provided by UTA, some are coordinated with other alternative transportation alternatives (e.g., [[Enterprise Rent-A-Car#Enterprise CarShare|Enterprise CarShare]]).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.utarideshare.com/ |title=UTA Rideshare: A BETTER WAY to get there |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 23, 2012}}</ref>

One of the most visible is the UTA Vanpool program wherein commuters carpool together and share the cost (based on total monthly mileage), while UTA provides the van, fuel, vehicle maintenance, vehicle insurance, replacement van support, and up to {{convert|50|miles|km}} per month for personal use of the van.

== Change Day ==
UTA periodically adjusts its bus, TRAX, S-Line and ''FrontRunner'' schedules to meet changing ridership needs. Unless an urgent need arises, such as when a fairly major adjustment to resolve connections with the ''FrontRunner'' was made in February 2013,<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/news/2013/02/uta-to-change-frontrunner-and-select-bus-schedules-feb-19/ |title=UTA To Change ''FrontRunner'' and Select Bus Schedules Feb. 19 |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=February 12, 2013}}</ref> UTA generally limits Change Days to the middle part of April, August, and December each year.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/news/55511800-78/draper-testing-carpenter-uta.html.csp |title=Draper TRAX line done, but no rides until August |date=December 24, 2012 |work=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |access-date=July 20, 2013 |publisher=[[MediaNews Group]] |location=Salt Lake City |quote=Also affecting the timing of opening the new line is that UTA tries to open new lines on one of the three days a year when it changes schedules, which usually are in April, August and December.}}</ref>  Changes can include new routes, elimination of routes, route changes, and schedule changes. Many of UTA's seasonal bus routes (such as ski bus service) also either begin or end on Change Days.

== Area of operations ==
UTA operates in Box Elder, Davis, Salt Lake, Tooele, Utah, and Weber counties. Access extends from [[Brigham City, Utah|Brigham City]] in the north to [[Santaquin, Utah|Santaquin]] in the south. Service area includes of all cities in between, heading as far west as [[Grantsville, Utah|Grantsville]] in Tooele County.  UTA also provides service to many of the major ski resorts along the Wasatch Front during the winter months.

== Accessibility ==
All of UTA's TRAX and ''FrontRunner'' trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and buses are compliant with [[Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990|Americans with Disabilities Act]] and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.<ref name="Fixed Route Accessibility" group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=RidingUTA-Accessibility-FixedRouteAccessibility |title=Fixed Route Accessibility |website=www.rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=March 13, 2013}}</ref> Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains and streetcars clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platform and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding on the Blue Line on weekdays only; these ramps are not used on weekends or on the Red or Green Lines. In accordance with the [[List of smoking bans in the United States#Utah|Utah Clean Air Act]] and UTA ordinance, smoking is prohibited on UTA property.<ref name="Rider Rules" group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=RidingUTA-RiderRules |title=Rider Rules |last=Rider Rules |website=www.rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=March 12, 2013}}</ref><ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/-/media/Files/Fact-Sheets/Frontrunner_2016.ashx?la=en |title=UTA Ordinance Manual |website=rideuta.com |access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref>

== Park-&-Ride ==
There are numerous free [[Park-and-Ride|Park-&-Ride]] lots throughout UTA's operational area. Many are operated by UTA in conjunction with its TRAX and ''FrontRunner'' stations or other transit centers, but others are maintained by the [[Utah Department of Transportation]] (UDOT). In addition, [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] (LDS Church) has designated many of its meetinghouses' parking lots for use as well. Some Park & Ride lots offer 24-hour parking, while others offer extended or multi-day parking.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/Rider-Info/Park-and-Ride-Lots |title=Park & Ride Lots |website=rideuta.com |access-date=December 12, 2016}}</ref>

UTA operates parking garages in conjunction with two of its stations, the [[Jordan Valley station|Jordan Valley TRAX station]] in West Jordan and the [[Draper station (FrontRunner)|Draper ''FrontRunner'' station]] in Draper. UTA also has a "[[kiss-and-ride]]" lot at the Draper ''FrontRunner'' station. The only parking provided at the Draper station is within the parking garage. There was also parking available on the nearby street before the city of Draper prohibited parking along FrontRunner Boulevard.

== Funding ==

=== UTA funding sources ===

* Local option sales tax – 70.9 percent
* Federal funding – 13.1 percent
* Fares – 11.2 percent
* Investments – 3.1 percent
* Advertising – 1.3 percent

=== Fares ===
UTA's bus fares are fixed price, based on the service type, with express routes costing more. As of April 1, 2013, the basic bus and TRAX fare is [[US$]]2.50, and Paratransit is US$4 <ref name="Fare">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/Fares-And-Passes/Current-Fares |title=Current Fares |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref> A fare on one mode of transit will usually transfer to another (''e.g.'', bus to TRAX, FrontRunne''r'' to TRAX or bus, etc.). Paper and electronic transfers are issued and valid for use on other buses, TRAX and the S-Line. Fares on ''FrontRunner'' are distance-based and can be transferred to TRAX or bus, but TRAX or bus fare cannot be transferred to ''FrontRunner'' without purchase of an upgrade.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/news/2016/10/Tips-for-Transfers |title=Tips for Transfers |last=Tips for Transfers |date=October 21, 2016 |website=www.rideuta.com |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref> Exemptions apply to kids below 6, who ride free with fare-paying rider, up to 3.

Numerous fare products and a variety of discounts and discount passes are available for eligible riders.

[[Ticket machine]]s at all ''FrontRunner'', MAX, TRAX  and S-Line stations accept cash and major debit and credit cards.<ref name="Fare" /> While ticket machines provide change for cash purchases, cash paying riders must have the exact fare amount upon boarding buses, as change is not available.

In 2009, UTA launched an [[automated fare collection system]] (ARC) to collect fares with [[contactless smart card]]s.<ref name="fare1">{{Cite news |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705273709/UTA-tapping-into-high-tech-fare-collection.html |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120118015408/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/705273709/UTA-tapping-into-high-tech-fare-collection.html |url-status=dead |archive-date=January 18, 2012 |title=UTA Tapping Into High Tech Fare Collection |last=Hancock |first=Laura |date=December 29, 2008 |newspaper=[[Deseret News]] |access-date=November 30, 2011 |publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref><ref name="fare2">{{Cite web |url=http://www.contactlessnews.com/2008/12/29/uta-taps-into-high-tech-fare-collection |title=UTA taps into high tech fare collection |website=Contactless News |access-date=November 29, 2011}}</ref><ref name="fare3">{{Cite web |url=http://www.govtech.com/transportation/Utah-Transit-Riders-Use-Smart-Cards.html |title=Utah Transit Riders Use Smart Cards |last=Collins |first=Hilton |website=GovTech |date=July 27, 2010 |access-date=November 29, 2011}}</ref> As the first full AFC system in the United States to accept contactless bank cards, the UTA system, implemented in conjunction with [[Vix Technology]], received the 2009 Innovation Award from the [[American Public Transportation Association]]<ref name="fare-apta-award-2009">{{Cite web |url=http://www.apta.com/members/memberprogramsandservices/awards/Documents/2009_awards_program.pdf |title=APTA Awards 2009 |date=October 6, 2009 |publisher=[[American Public Transportation Association]] (APTA) |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref> and the 2009 Sesames Transportation Award.<ref name="fare-sesame-2009">{{Cite press release |title=Vix ERG Wins Sesame for eO |publisher=[[Vix Technology]] |url=http://tap2ride.com/eo/news/sesame-award.htm |access-date=November 29, 2011 |website=tab2ride.com}}</ref>

FAREPAY is a prepaid card accepted on any UTA operated transportation, except paratransit. The cards can be purchased online or a UTA customer service center, as well as select retailers.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://farepay.rideuta.com |title=FAREPAY |website=farepay.rideuta.com |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref>  The cards have a one-time US$3 activation fee, but can then be loaded (or reloaded) with as little as US$5 or as much as US$500.

UTA currently has a [[Zero-fare public transport|Free Fare Zone]] in [[downtown Salt Lake City]] which allows transportation patrons that both enter and exit bus or TRAX service within the zone to ride at no charge. The zone was originally created in 1985<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865552555/Downtown-free-fare-zone-may-end-for-buses-not-for-TRAX.html?pg=allhtml |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921200741/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865552555/Downtown-free-fare-zone-may-end-for-buses-not-for-TRAX.html?pg=allhtml |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 21, 2013 |title=Downtown free fare zone may end for buses, not for TRAX |last=Lee |first=Jasen |date=March 20, 2012 |newspaper=[[Deseret News]] |access-date=January 4, 2013 |publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref> and covers an area of approximately 36 city blocks. The boundaries are roughly North Temple, 200 East, 500 South and 400 West. TRAX stations within the zone include [[Arena station (UTA)|Arena]], [[City Center station (UTA)|City Center]], [[Courthouse station (UTA)|Courthouse]], [[Gallivan Plaza station|Gallivan Plaza]], [[Planetarium station|Planetarium]], and [[Temple Square station|Temple Square]]. In addition, the Free Fare Zone also includes the area of the [[Utah State Capitol|State Capitol]] (north to 500 North), the bus stops on 400 South between 200 East and 300 East, and three additional TRAX stations: [[Library station (UTA)|Library]], [[Old GreekTown station|Old GreekTown]], and [[Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub|Salt Lake Central]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/uploads/FreeFareZone_April2012_large.jpg |title=Free Fare Zone |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |format=JPG |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130109154404/http://www.rideuta.com/uploads/FreeFareZone_April2012_large.jpg |archive-date=January 9, 2013 |access-date=December 16, 2012 |df=mdy-all}}</ref> In June 2012 UTA revealed plans to eliminate the Free Fare Zone, but by September 2012 it announced that it would continue the zone, but with some minor adjustments, including when and how fares are collected for service ending outside the zone.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/news/tag/free-fare-zone/ |title=UTA Announces Changes to Free Fare Zone for Bus |website=rideuta.com |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |access-date=December 16, 2012}}</ref>

UTA has been criticized for having some of the highest fares in the transportation industry. In 2011 UTA raised fares as part of a change in the way it handled fuel surcharges. "A recent analysis by The Salt Lake Tribune shows that the UTA already had among the highest bus and train fares in the nation before the new fare hike. Its current total fare of US$2.25 was tied for fifth-highest among 193 transit systems nationally that responded to an American Public Transportation Association survey completed last August."<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://archive.sltrib.com/story.php?ref=/sltrib/home/51490724-76/2013-base-fare-fares.html.csp |title=UTA approves 25% fare hike |date=March 23, 2011 |access-date=February 8, 2015 |newspaper=[[The Salt Lake Tribune]] |location=Salt Lake City}}</ref>

UTA fares have not increased since 2013. In 2016, UTA published information showing that the US$2.50 cash fare is comparable to other mid-sized agencies. When the US$1.50 FAREPAY fare is taken into consideration, the fare is lower than many other similar public transit agencies.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/news/2016/05/How-Do-UTA-Fares-Match-Up |title=How Do UTA Fares Match Up |last=How Do UTA Fares Match Up |date=May 21, 2016 |website=www.rideuta.com |access-date=December 13, 2016}}</ref>

== Leadership and operation ==
{{Update section|date=May 2018}}
UTA is governed by a 3-member [[Board of directors|Board of Trustees]]<ref>{{Cite web|title=Meet the Board|url=https://www.rideuta.com/Board-of-Trustees/Meet-the-Board|access-date=2022-02-03|website=www.rideuta.com}}</ref> appointed by the city and county governments that fund UTA with a local option sales taxes.

Local elected officials may serve on the UTA Board, and one seat is reserved for a member of the [[Utah Transportation Commission]], which is part of the [[Utah Department of Transportation]]. The President of the [[Utah State Senate|Senate]], [[Speaker (politics)|Speaker]] of the [[Utah House of Representatives|House]], and [[List of Governors of Utah|Governor]] of the State of Utah each appoint one seat as well.

In July 2013, the [[Transportation Security Administration]] (TSA) announced that for the year 2012 UTA had earned the "Gold Standard", TSA's highest security rating. TSA also reported that UTA was among only fifteen other mass transit agencies to have earned this rating for the same period.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=TSA Commends 16 Mass Transit and Rail Agencies for Highest Security Levels |date=July 10, 2013 |publisher=[[United States Department of Homeland Security]] |url=http://www.tsa.gov/press/releases/2013/07/10/tsa-commends-16-mass-transit-and-rail-agencies-highest-security-levels |access-date=July 19, 2013 |author=Transportation Security Administration |author-link=Transportation Security Administration }}</ref>

Higher salaries of executives has been an issue. In 2015, UTA executives opted out of receiving an increase in their compensation and also refused to receive any of their usual annual bonuses for the 2015 and 2016 annual periods.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/uploads/FinalCompensationReportwCoverLetter03_2015.pdf |title=Final Compensation Report 2015}}</ref> UTA also revised its compensation policy on May 19, 2015, to bring those who are earning less than those in similar job functions at other transit organizations in line with the industry standards.<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/-/media/Files/About-UTA/UTA_Compensation_Policy_8242016.ashx?la=en |title=UTA Compensation Policy}}</ref>

In 2016, the newly appointed CEO Jerry Benson announced that two of the executive positions were being removed and the departments under those previous executives responsibilities would be absorbed under the remaining members of the executive team.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.rideuta.com/news/2016/11/State-of-UTA-2017 |title=State of UTA 2017 |website=www.rideuta.com}}</ref>

UTA also operates a law enforcement arm, the [[Utah Transit Authority Police Department]]. The department conducts law enforcement services, criminal investigations and public safety throughout bus transit, commuter rail, and light rail systems.

== FrontLines 2015 ==
The purpose of the FrontLines 2015 project was to meet the increasing transportation needs of the Wasatch Front's growing population. It consisted of expansions to both TRAX and ''FrontRunner'' and was the largest expansion in UTA's history.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://le.utah.gov/audit/12_01rpt.pdf |title=A Performance Audit of the Utah Transit Authority |date=Jan 2012 |publisher=[[Utah Legislature|State of Utah Office of the Legislative Auditor General]] |access-date=March 6, 2013}}</ref> UTA relied heavily on sales tax revenues to fund this project. On December 10, 2012, the [[FrontRunner#FrontRunner South|''FrontRunner'' South]] extension opened for service and extended the previous line {{convert|45|miles|km}} south from Salt Lake City to Provo.

FrontLines 2015 added/expanded four extensions in the TRAX system including the Mid-Jordan extension, the West Valley City extension, the airport extension, and the Draper extension. While all the projects were set to be completed by the year 2015,<ref group="U">{{Cite web |url=http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=Projects-Frontlines2015 |title=Frontlines 2015 |publisher=Utah Transit Authority |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160114092430/http://www.rideuta.com/mc/?page=Projects-Frontlines2015 |archive-date=14 January 2016 |access-date=19 February 2018 |quote=The FrontLines 2015 program is a group of five UTA rail projects that will all be in operation by the year 2015 and will add 70 miles to UTA’s existing 64-mile rail network.}}</ref> all of them were completed well ahead of schedule. The mid-Jordan TRAX and West Valley extensions both opened August 7, 2011, and the airport extension opened April 14, 2013, followed by the Draper extension on August 18, 2013. Just prior to the opening of the Draper extension in August 2013, UTA announced that the FrontLines 2015 project had been completed under budget and years ahead of schedule.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865584814/Draper-TRAX-extension-embarks-this-weekend.html?pg=all |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130921145341/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/865584814/Draper-TRAX-extension-embarks-this-weekend.html?pg=all |url-status=dead |archive-date=September 21, 2013 |title=Draper TRAX extension embarks this weekend |last=Lee |first=Jansen |date=August 16, 2013 |newspaper=[[Deseret News]] |access-date=September 20, 2013 |publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]] |location=Salt Lake City |quote=The Draper TRAX line will mark the completion of the FrontLines 2015 project, which adds more than 70 miles [110 km] of new rail lines to the UTA system and was completed two years ahead of schedule and $300 million under budget, according to the agency.}}</ref>
