It’s that time of year. It’s when we put our plans for 2021 to you for input. This year we’re working with new constraints and opportunities that have risen from the coronavirus pandemic, we’re launching into big projects like the Depot District, Ogden-Weber Bus Rapid Transit and building a new TRAX Airport Station. We’re continuing maintenance projects for our rail infrastructure, as well as providing first-last mile solutions and other customer experience improvements.

Part of our budget process is taking time to hear from you; our riders, key stakeholders, and transit fans. We have two opportunities to participate and a robust webpage dedicated to sharing information about our 2021 budget and priorities at rideuta.com/budget.
