It's no 'Free Fare February,' but RideUTA announced 10 zero fare days next month
Passengers along the Wasatch Front will be able to ride UTA transportation for free between Feb. 12-21, which coincides with the NBA All-Star Game coming to Salt Lake City.
Free services include UTA FrontRunner and TRAX trains, as well as all bus services, including Ski Bus, Paratransit, and UTA On-Demand. In 2022, systemwide UTA ridership increased 16% on weekdays and 58% on Saturdays when free transportation was offered during the entire month of February. Data also showed that nearly 68 tons of pollutants were removed from the roads as a result of the free program.
“Last year’s Free Fare February proved something we’ve long suspected: that free access to transit results in cleaner air, more ridership, and reduced congestion.” Salt Lake City Mayor Mendenhall said. While many have supported zero fares year round, a bill that would have offered free public transportation in Utah with a $40-50 million price tag did not advance in last year's legislative session.
