The Utah Public Transit District Act section 17B-2a-8 outlines the duties and powers of a large transit district’s Board of Trustees. One of those duties includes developing and approving board policies, ordinances and bylaws after consultation with the Local Advisory Council.
The UTA Board of Trustees last updated their Board Policies in July 2019 and have recently performed a general review of those policies.

- Board Policy 1.1 Process for Establishing Policies
- Board Policy 1.2 Ethics
- Board Policy 2.1 Financial Management
- Board Policy 2.2 Contract Authority and Procurement
- Board Policy 3.2 Service Planning Implementation
- Board Policy 3.3 Capital Development Project Implementation
- Board Policy 4.1 Fares
In addition, cross-references to statutory and other governing rules will be updated prior to final approval.
The attached policies are being provided to the Local Advisory Council to review and provide input to the Board of Trustees prior to their adoption later this fall.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Council is encouraged to provide input to the Board of Trustees with their comments, advice or recommended alternatives to the proposed policy revisions.
