Utah Transit Authority Named Transit System of the Year
The Utah Transit Authority Was recently honored as the 2014 Outstanding Public Transportation System by the American Public Transportation Association (APTA), the international organization representing the transit industry in the United States and Canada.
The award is considered the most prestigious of all honors to be handed out at APTA’s national convention in October. It is bestowed on public transportation systems that have demonstrated “achievement in efficiency and effectiveness.” There are three such awards based on the size of the transit system. UTA won in the largest category, for systems providing 20 million or more annual passenger trips.
