Good news! UTA was just awarded $18 million from the Federal Transit Administration to purchase more electric buses for our fleet. These new electric buses and our expanding electric bus charging infrastructure provide more zero-emission travel options and take cars off the road, leading to cleaner air and a better quality of life for Utahns. Thank you to Rep. Curtis, Rep. Maloy, Rep. Moore, Rep. Burgess, Senator Romney, and to the Federal Transit Administration for your support in securing this funding for Utah.

It’s Electric! On June 20, UTA joined Rocky Mountain Power, City of Millcreek, and public charging network Electrify America to mark the completion of new charging stations at the Olympus Cove Park and Ride lot. The location provides high-powered charging stations for electric passenger vehicles (EVs) as well as a fast charger for UTA electric buses. This dual-use infrastructure extends the range of UTA’s electric buses, taking more cars off the road and contributing to cleaner air across the Wasatch Front. #Sustainability
