Ordinance Revisions - Fare, Criminal and Trespass
end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
LAC - Consultation
RECOMMENDATION:
Consult on the draft Fare Payment, Criminal, and Trespassing Ordinances that are scheduled to be sent to the Board of Trustees for review and final adoption.
BACKGROUND:
The Utah Public Transit District Act §17B-2a-808.1 defines the powers and duties of UTA’s Board of Trustees. One of those functions is developing and approving ordinances for the authority. The statute requires consultation with the Local Advisory Council before adoption of ordinances. The attached Ordinances are being provided to the LAC for their review and consultation to the Board.
DISCUSSION:
The UTA ordinances direct the rules and regulations of the public transit system to support safety, comfort, and wellbeing of passengers, employees, and the general public. The ordinances were last updated in 2016 and are being updated again to provide clarity, usability, and alignment with UTA programs. The new drafts split the UTA Ordinances into three separate documents, each covering a distinct area.
1. Fare Payment Ordinance - defines fare payment rules and compliance on UTA's public transit system.
2. Criminal Ordinance - defines expectations for behavior and conduct in and around the public transit system, in addition to other adopted Utah codes.
3. Trespass Ordinance - defines grounds for trespass orders from UTA's public transit system and property.
The 30-day open comment period began on May 11, 2022. For more information: UTA Ordinance Update <https://stories.opengov.com/utahtransitauthority/published/PpQEY-io1>.
ALTERNATIVES:
The Advisory Council is encouraged to provide consultation advice to the Board of Trustees on the proposed ordinances.
