Speaking on Business: Utah Transit Authority

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. For more than 50 years, the Utah Transit Authority has connected Utahns to work, school and everyday destinations. It continues to help strengthen communities across the Wasatch Front through safe, reliable public transportation. Events and Sponsorship Strategist, Marina Riddle, joins us with more. Marina Riddle: At the Utah Transit Authority, we are focused on connecting people to opportunity. Every day, UTA provides safe, reliable and affordable transportation that supports our economy, strengthens communities and improves quality of life across the Wasatch Front. Our mission is simple: We Move You. We move employees to jobs, students to school, customers to businesses and families to parks, concerts and sporting events — all while reducing traffic congestion and improving air quality. UTA also helps move Utah’s economy forward. A recent study found that for every dollar invested in UTA, our community receives $5.11 back in economic return. And that positive impact benefits all Utahn’s, whether you ride transit or not. As we look ahead, we remain focused on improving our system to better serve our customers and communities.

As the state grows, its transit system continues to support stronger communities and a more connected, thriving economy. I'm Derek Miller, with the Salt Lake Chamber, Speaking on Business.
