Seniors on the Go

UTA can help you stay mobile and active by giving you safe, reliable and low-cost bus and light rail service to popular destinations across the Wasatch Front. UTA serves most major shopping centers, restaurants, hospitals and cultural event centers. To top it off, you are eligible for reduced fare tickets and monthly passes.

Reduced Fares
As a Senior you receive reduced fares on UTA. One-way tickets can be purchased at the ticket vending machines or when boarding the bus; they are good for two hours from the time of purchase. You can purchase monthly passes at most local grocery stores or on UTA's website at www.rideuta.com.

Schedules and Trip Planning
To receive assistance planning your trip, call UTA's customer information line at RIDE-UTA (743-3882). You can also plan your trip by visiting UTA's website at www.rideuta.com.


UTA Operators
UTA's operators are knowledgeable about the transit system and trained to be sensitive to your needs. Operators will assist you with questions and fare payment. In addition, operators will announce all major intersections and transfer points along the line.

Transfers
Ask for a “transfer ticket” when boarding any bus, and you can switch buses or ride TRAX for up to two hours on the same ticket.

Transit Benefits
Transit allows you to let someone else do the driving and offers convenient transportation to shopping, appointments, restaurants, movies and to handle many of life's tasks. Transit assists in improving environmental quality, reduces traffic congestion and provides transportation options for the entire community.

As part of UTA's ongoing effort to educate seniors about public transportation, we are pleased to offer a senior education program. To schedule a presentation, please contact Jeanetta Williams at (801) 287-2128 or jwilliams@rideuta.com.
