About Change Day
August 2023 Change Day is scheduled for August 20, 2023. The proposed changes align with UTA’s 2023–2027 Five-Year Service Plan, consider current staffing and available resources, and support recovery and evolution of service following previous reductions.
UTA welcomes comments about planned routes and changes. Comments that are most helpful to UTA at this stage are specific and provide input related to the proposed route changes and where riders need to go via transit. UTA Planning will consider comments and assess how to balance any community concerns with additional factors that go into decision-making around route planning, including ridership, need, workforce constraints, budgetary constraints, and more.
At this time, comments requesting new routes or major modifications to existing routes would be better suited for UTA’s Five-Year Service Plan (to be updated in 2024–2025) and Long-Range Transit Plan.
Opportunities to learn more
UTA held a virtual meeting about August 2023 service changes on Thursday, April 6 at 6 p.m. The public meeting provided an overview of proposed service changes in each geographic area and answered questions and comments from participants.
