AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
In alignment with the 2023-2027 Five-Year Service Plan, UTA adjusts transit services three times per year as part of the April, August, and December changes days. Changes can include new routes, elimination of routes, route alignment changes, and schedule changes. Generally, all major service changes take place as part of the August change day, with other minor service adjustments, including starting and stopping seasonal ski service taking place during the April and December change days.
The August 2023 change day is planned for August 20, 2023. Multiple factors shape the final proposed service changes. Before major changes are implemented, proposed changes are subject to additional outreach efforts which include public hearings, a Title VI analysis, and the development of route schedules. The Title VI analysis and public engagement report for August 2023 change day was presented to the Board of Trustees in the May 24, 2023 board meeting.
DISCUSSION:
An outline of proposed August 2023 changes was presented to the Local Advisory Council in February 2023 in conjunction with the approval of the 2023-2027 Five-Year Service Plan. UTA staff will give an update on proposed changes.
