UTA will open the Mid-Jordan and West Valley TRAX light rail lines August 7, 2011. These new lines represent a significant increase in transit service to west and southwest Salt Lake County. The opening of these lines will also bring changes to UTA’s system, as the agency works to ensure the entire system is operating as efficiently as possible.

The economic downturn has left UTA with fewer operating resources than originally anticipated and the agency will be making these changes under some constraints. In an effort to ensure that transit objectives are met in a way that reflects the needs and desires of area residents, UTA is seeking feedback from the community.

You can participate in this information gathering process by attending one of eight open houses, held throughout the valley in the coming weeks, or by participating in an online survey.

UTA will use the information to develop service plans that will be shared with the public for additional input and refinement in early 2011. Final plans for service will be adopted in late summer for implementation on August 7, 2011.
