AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational report for discussion
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Trustee of Utah Transit Authority established under the Public Transit District Act adopted the UTA Ordinance in 2016. The adoption of rules and regulations ensure the orderly operation of the system and the safety, comfort, and well-being of its passengers, employees, and the general public. The adopted 2016 Ordinance governs civil penalties, including fines, and applicable state or local criminal penalties.
DISCUSSION:
A cross-functional team at UTA has been working collaboratively on updating the existing 2016 UTA Ordinance. The board will be presented with a recommendation to have three separate ordinances in lieu of just the one. These would include a fare payment ordinance, a criminal ordinance, and a trespassing ordinance. In addition, the presentation will include the first draft of the fare payment ordinance and the recommended timeline for adoption.
