West Valley City is developing Station Area Plans to guide future improvements within one-half mile of the existing TRAX Green Line stations at Decker Lake, Redwood Junction, and River Trail. The plans will serve as blueprints for future improvements. West Valley City will use your input to identify issues, needs, and opportunities within these three station areas. To provide feedback, visit the project website wvcstationplans.com and complete the survey and interactive map by September 16, 2024.

Today, UTA is celebrating one year of OGX! 🎂 🎉 For one year, the all-electric Ogden Express (OGX) bus rapid transit line has offered a quick and easy way for citizens, students, and visitors to experience all that Ogden has to offer. Since its launch, OGX has recorded nearly one million riders, becoming the most popular Ogden bus route and one of the top five UTA routes by ridership. Due to federal funding, OGX will remain Zero Fare through August 2026. Thank you to all of our riders who have made the first year of OGX such a success! #WeMoveYou #RideUTA #OGX

Air quality affects everyone. Since 2014, UTA and the University of Utah have been conducting an unprecedented research study utilizing TRAX and electric buses to monitor air quality in real time. This data helps to draw a clear connection between what is emitted into the air and the health, economic, and social impacts of those emissions.

Last week, UTA celebrated the 34th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). This groundbreaking legislation continues to empower members of the disability community with equal access and opportunity and remains a cornerstone of civil rights in the U.S. To better meet the needs of our community members, UTA has created a citizen advisory group called the Committee on Accessible Transportation (CAT). The CAT plays a crucial role in advising UTA on accessibility issues within our system. Members' unique perspectives and insights are instrumental in our continuous efforts to improve rider experiences, making each journey more comfortable and enjoyable. #ADA34 #WeMoveYou #RideUTA #americanswithdisabilitiesact
