Complimentary Fare: Passes for Utah Legislative Session Volunteers
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve the request to issue twenty (20) Complementary Passes for legislative volunteers to use during the Utah Legislative Session.
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Legislative Session (“the Session”) will commence January 20, 2026 and run through March 6, 2026. UTA has historically provided Complimentary Passes for legislative volunteers that are promoting transit and UTA initiatives throughout the Session.
Under the Board of Trustees Policy 4.1 and UTA Fare Policy, Complimentary Passes may be provided for transit related collaboration with partners and stakeholders.
DISCUSSION:
Complimentary Passes are once again being requested for the 2026 Session. The passes will be issued to volunteers for travel to and from the State Capitol during the Session, as well as the week before and after the Session.
The full premium face value of the passes was used in determining the total complementary value of the request as follows:
60 days x $10.00 per day x 20 passes = $12,000
ALTERNATIVES:
Do not provide Complimentary Passes to legislative volunteers and require them to pay their own fare while attending the Session.
FISCAL IMPACT:
UTA will forego a maximum potential value of $12,000 in fare revenue.
