SALT LAKE CITY — The Utah Transit Authority is holding several open houses to gather input from the public on upcoming changes to the transit system.
With the opening of the West Valley and Mid-Jordan TRAX lines in August 2011, increased service in those areas will likely result in changes for existing bus and rail lines. UTA wants input to create an integrated and efficient system, according to a statement released Tuesday.
"No decisions have been made at this point," said Michael Allegra, UTA general manager. "We want to hear from the public on what their priorities are before we start putting lines on a map."
Through early December, UTA is conducting a process known as "scoping," gathering information through focus groups, online and phone surveys, the UTA website, social media and a series of public open houses.
Officials are looking to better understand public preferences related to frequency, coverage, peak travel, weekend and evening service, fares, customer amenities and supporting services.
