This hearing is held for the purpose of giving information and receiving comments on the following proposed transit service changes.

II. Description of Proposed Changes for April 2009:

UTA announces the public hearing for the re-alignment of local bus service routes serving the South Davis County area. Routes included in this re-alignment are routes 460, 461, 463, and 471. The public hearing is to explain proposed bus service changes in the affected area. The objective is to increase ridership by providing new service in North Salt Lake area, providing better connections to and from Frontrunner, increasing travel destinations, and making routes more direct and reliable. Following is a brief description of the proposed changes:

• Combining the current routes 460 and 463 into one route (463) serving the communities of West Bountiful, Woods Cross, and North Salt Lake, primarily along the 800 West corridor, and along Main St. in North Salt Lake.
• Extending the route 461 north and west to include service along 500 South between the Frontrunner Station and Orchard Dr., along with service along 400 North, 900 East, 900 North, and 1000 East in Bountiful.
• Moving two morning and two evening route 471 trips to serve the 400 West (Centerville) and 200 West (Bountiful) corridors. The remaining 3 morning and 3 evening trips will continue their current routing along 400 East / Orchard Dr. and will be called a route 455, running between the Farmington Frontrunner Station and the University of Utah. Schedule times may be adjusted to manage passenger loads.
• Making the route 460 a bi-directional shuttle service between the Woods Cross Frontrunner Station and the intersection of Highway 89 and Center St. in North Salt Lake. This shuttle will provide service to the business park in North Salt Lake and the Foxboro subdivision.

III. At the hearing, the Utah Transit Authority will afford an opportunity for interested citizens, private transportation providers, and locally elected officials to comment on the proposed changes.
