Abstract

Public transportation is an entity that is fast-growing in the state of Utah. While the Utah population is generally dependent on their cars, there are growing amounts of people that rely on public transportation to get where they need to go. There are several different transit systems that are available for Utahns that serve the differing and fluctuating needs of individuals within the population. Among these are a commuter train (FrontRunner) that connects three different counties across the Wasatch Front, a light-rail system (TRAX) with three different lines that run through Salt Lake County, several different bus routes, ski buses and paratransit services. These services allow people greater mobility, especially if they want to save money, time and contribute to a healthier environment.
