Utilizing app-based technology, it matches multiple riders heading in the same direction, ensuring quick and efficient shared trips. Learn more about the program on UTA’s website.
Frequent Service Network
In close collaboration with UTA, Salt Lake City has launched the first phase of branding for its frequent service network (FSN), known as the GO Route. This service provides more frequent service, including:
- 15-minute or better frequency during the day (6:00 AM – 7:00 PM) on Monday through Saturday
- 30-minute frequency during early morning and late-night hours (4:00 AM – 6:00 AM and 7:00 PM – midnight) on Monday through Saturday
- 30-minute frequency on Sunday (6:00 AM – 9:00 PM)
GO Route prototype amenities have been installed at bus stops along Foothill Drive near Wakara Way. It is anticipated that all GO Route stops will eventually be branded similarly to raise awareness of high-frequency routes throughout Salt Lake City. Additionally, Salt Lake City continues to sponsor four bus routes within the FSN: routes 1, 2, 9, and 21. Learn more about the program on UTA’s website.
