UTA Planning Director Laura Hanson is quoted in the article discussing the need to stabilize the region's transit system.
Lee Davidson reports details and political background of the major service changes proposed by the UTA earlier this month, presented by UTA planners in context of the pandemic and a budgetary commitment to maintain service at 91 percent of pre-pandemic service levels. Ogden also offers great access to many of Utah’s scenic highways and byways.The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has revealed a new vision for bus and rail service for the next five years, focusing on a "core route network" of frequent service for the communities of the Wasatch Front. Interstate 80 is located about 40 minutes south of Ogden and is a major east-west artery. Ogden is conveniently located near the crossroads of Interstate 15, which is Utah’s main north-south artery, and Interstate 84, which provides a connection to the east. Ogden’s airport provides hassle-free air travel - no long lines here! In addition, Salt Lake City International Airport is 40 minutes from Ogden and offers flights to all major destinations. Additional flights from Ogden will be added in the near future. Ogden-Hinckley Airport offers direct commercial service to Phoenix/Mesa, AZ. Weber Pathways offers a comprehensive map of bike lanes and trails in the Ogden area. In addition to bike lanes around town, Ogden is home to the Ogden River Parkway (a paved multi-use trail) and miles of off-road trails. Ogden has been designated as a Bicycle Friendly Community by the League of American Bicyclists, and recently completed a new Bicycle Master Plan (PDF). Ogden has an extensive system of bike lanes and trails, providing a great opportunity for active transportation around town. The ski bus makes our great mountains even more accessible. The ski bus offers a great alternative to driving, especially in bad weather or when your kids want to hit the slopes with their friends. Ogden is now connected by bus to two world-class ski resorts: Snowbasin and Powder Mountain. Routes also serve some of Ogden’s major employment centers, such as Business Depot Ogden. Commonly used bus routes include routes along Washington Boulevard and Monroe Boulevard, intercity service to Salt Lake City and Brigham City, and service from the Frontrunner station to Weber State University. Ogden is well-served by UTA’s robust bus service. Frontrunner offers a great way of getting to Salt Lake City for a Jazz game, concert, or day of shopping - without the hassle and cost of parking. The trains are clean, comfortable, and reliable. FrontrunnerĬommuter rail service connects downtown Ogden to many other communities along the Wasatch Front, including Salt Lake City and Provo. Maps and schedules, as well as information about fare card and discount fare programs, are available online.
