Topic overview
Live UTA Service Alerts — Detours, Delays & Closures
UTA service alerts explain why a route is detoured, why a stop is closed, why an elevator is out of service, or why a FrontRunner train is delayed. UTA Tracker surfaces alerts from the official GTFS-realtime alert feed directly on the live map, each route page, and each stop page so riders can react before they leave for a trip instead of discovering the change at the platform.
Each alert links to the affected route and stop, and the live map shows which vehicles are running through the detoured area. Filter by mode to see only bus alerts, only TRAX alerts, or only FrontRunner alerts, then tap through to official Utah Transit Authority notices for the detailed rider policy behind each advisory.
Frequently asked
UTA Service Alerts — Live Detours, Delays & Closures
- Where can I see live UTA service alerts?
- UTA Tracker shows live alerts on the homepage, route pages, stop pages, and the live map. Alerts come from Utah Transit Authority's GTFS-realtime alert feed and update continuously without a full page reload.
- What kinds of alerts does UTA publish?
- UTA alerts include detours, stop closures, delays, elevator outages at TRAX and FrontRunner stations, schedule adjustments for events and weather, and longer service changes for construction. Each alert identifies the affected routes, stops, and time span.
- How do I know if my stop is detoured today?
- Open the route page for your line or the stop page for your boarding location. Today's affected stops appear with an alert badge, and the live map highlights where vehicles are rerouting around the alert.
- Do UTA alerts include elevator outages at stations?
- Yes. The GTFS-realtime alert feed and Accessibility alerts note elevator and escalator outages at TRAX and FrontRunner stations so riders with mobility needs can plan to use a different entrance or transfer station.
