Join Team Transit

UTA’s mission is simple and consequential: We Move You. With more than 40 million boardings last year, that promise is fulfilled every day in the lives of people and communities across Utah. Your leadership and partnership are essential to the “We.” Together, we can move people, strengthen communities, and build a more connected Utah. As our state grows and UTA’s governance and operating structure evolve, We Move You remains our compass — keeping us focused on the people we serve and the future we share.

On July 1, UTA entered a new era of governance as a seven-member, part-time Transit Commission succeeded our Board of Trustees. Established by the Utah State Legislature to align UTA with the state’s growth, this transition strengthens accountability and positions the agency for the future. It also reflects confidence in UTA’s record of results — and a clear expectation that we will continue delivering the mobility Utah needs.

That future will not be built by UTA or the Transit Commission alone. The next chapter of UTA — NextUTA — depends on strong advocacy, meaningful community engagement, and a statewide Team Transit united around a shared vision. We invite elected officials, legislators, service communities, transportation partners, employees, and riders to help shape that vision and champion the investments that will move Utah forward. We all have a stake in getting transit right — and when we lead together, speak with a shared purpose, and act with resolve, we can build a transit system worthy of Utah’s future. As we stay rooted in our mission — We Move You — we also must prepare for what’s ahead: major regional events, continued growth, and a global spotlight on Utah leading up to 2034.
