UTA Making Emergency Service Adjustments Due to Bus Operator Shortages.
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is always updating, adjusting and expanding service across the region and we do so three (3) times a year. For December Change Day, these adjustments are based on evolving ridership patterns, ongoing community needs, area growth predictions and important feedback received from the general public.
To add to that, UTA is also experiencing significant staffing shortages and hiring challenges as are many other businesses and transit agencies across the country. As a result of this ongoing shortage, specifically related to bus operators, UTA is making several emergency bus service adjustments in December, impacting Weber, Davis and Salt Lake counties, as well as service to Summit County. These changes will include several local routes, ski-service routes, and regional routes.
Other UTA services, such as Utah County bus service, FrontRunner, TRAX, Paratransit, UTA On Demand, UVX, OGX and the S-Line Streetcar are not currently experiencing staffing issues and are not anticipated to be affected at this time.
Click on any route numbers listed below to see a summary of changes and adjustments to that specific route, with a link to the route’s updated schedule.
