Trip planning just got better for Utah Transit Authority riders

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) will now offer the mobile-based app, Transit, to help passengers plan their trip. The Transit app is used in more than 200 cities, and UTA believes the app will empower riders to better plan and to stay informed.

Here’s what the app offers:

• It provides the next up-to-minute arrival for FrontRunner, TRAX and buses. It also has a tracking feature that shows the transit coming to the stop.

• It sends out push alerts if things change. If there’s a favorited route saved in the app, Transit will send push notifications of any changes.

• The app is multimodal so it can connect to Lyft, Uber, GREENbike and spin.
