Consultation on Proposed 2025-2029 Five-Year Service Plan Amendment
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
LAC - Consultation
RECOMMENDATION:
The Local Advisory Council is requested to consult on a proposed amendment to the Five-Year Service Plan.
BACKGROUND:
The UTA Board of Trustees adopted the 2025-2029 Five-Year Service Plan on December 4, 2024. UTA Board of Trustees Policy No. 3.2, Service Planning, governs how the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) plans, implements, and manages its transit service changes. The purpose of the policy is to ensure a consistent, transparent, and collaborative approach to service planning-one that aligns with the requirements of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Utah Public Transit District Act, and the expectations of the communities and regional partners UTA serves. The policy also requires the development of an annual service plan that informs the budget process.
DISCUSSION:
UTA staff will provide an overview of the recommended 2026 Annual Service Plan. This includes the implementation of the Midvalley Express (MVX) bus rapid transit service and key associated service changes originally scheduled in the 2027 phase of the 2025-2029 Five-Year Service Plan. Service changes planned for 2026, along with the remaining 2027 service changes, will be reevaluated for phasing as part of the updated 2027-2031 Five-Year Service Plan.
ALTERNATIVES:
N/A
FISCAL IMPACT:
The tentative 2026 Operating Budget will include funding for the recommended 2026 Annual Service Plan, operational needs, and financial expenses.
