Topic overview
UTA Accessibility — Wheelchair, Elevator & Audio Info
UTA accessibility covers wheelchair securement on buses, level boarding on TRAX and FrontRunner, accessible TRAX station elevators, audio and visual stop announcements, and a reduced fare program for qualifying riders with disabilities. The system is designed so riders with mobility, vision, or hearing needs can plan and complete trips across the Wasatch Front.
UTA Tracker surfaces elevator outages from the GTFS-realtime alert feed directly on each stop and station page so riders can choose a different entrance or transfer station ahead of time. Confirm individual accessibility policies, paratransit eligibility, and rider accommodations with Utah Transit Authority directly.
