AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Discussion
RECOMMENDATION:
Informational item for discussion
BACKGROUND:
Per UTA Board of Trustees Policy No. 3.2 and in compliance with Utah Public Transit District Act, the UTA Five Year Service Plan (5YSP) is updated every two years. The UTA Local Advisory Council reviews, approves and recommends the plan for adoption by the Board of Trustees.
UTA presented the draft 5YSP network to the Board of Trustees in June 2024 in preparation for the first round of public engagement. Based on comments received during this outreach period, internal vetting, and additional analysis, UTA Service Planning revised the draft network and developed annual phasing for each change as part of the Final Draft Network.
The final 5YSP will be presented to the Local Advisory Council (LAC) for approval in November 2024, with adoption by the Board of Trustees planned for December. The service implementation process for April 2025 Change Day will begin immediately after that.
Once approved, proposed changes in the 5YSP will enter UTA’s annual budgeting process and be further vetted for resource availability and operational feasibility. Additional service changes may be presented to the board during the annual service process prior to change day, along with Title VI information.
DISCUSSION:
The Planning and Engagement team will present the final draft service plan and a preliminary community engagement report to the Board of Trustees. The presentation notes changes made from the draft proposal, including changes in the corridor, frequency, span, and proposed annual service levels, and identifies community priorities. The Board will receive an update on the community feedback regarding the draft plan. UTA is still receiving input from the community on the phased plan, and a complete community engagement report will be included in the final 5YSP to be presented to the LAC and Board of Trustees for adoption.
