It's never been easier to get out of your car and ride transit along the Wasatch Front, and there are many resources available to help plan your trip. Visit the RideUTA website, call 1-800-RIDE-UTA, or utilize any of the great third-party transit apps. Paying your fare is simple with UTA's FAREPAY card. In addition, there are several bulk pass discount programs available that can be tailored to your office location. This makes it even more attractive to leave your car keys at the door. For transit trips outside of the Wasatch Front, check out UCAIR's Public Transit page to give it a try! Consider ways to reduce idling in public places and amongst your employees.
