Overview
Grant Description
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is submitting this application for $78,322,872 in FFY 2019 Section 5309 Small Starts CIG funds under discretionary ID D2019 SMST-010 for the Ogden/WSU Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Project (hereafter Project).
The Project is a 5.3-mile Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line connecting the Ogden FrontRunner commuter rail station to Weber State University (WSU) and McKay-Dee Hospital in Ogden, Utah. It includes construction of 2.2 miles of exclusive bus lanes from 32nd Street Harrison up to the Dee Events Center, a total of 13 uniquely branded stations, transit signal priority, and purchase of 11 electric vehicles. The Project also includes a new transit center on the WSU campus and expansion of UTA's existing Mount Ogden maintenance facility.
On weekdays, the service is planned to operate every 15 minutes from 4:30 AM to 8:00 AM and from 5:00 PM to 12:30 AM; and every 10 minutes from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. On weekends, service is planned to operate every 15 minutes headways on Saturdays from 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM and every 30 minutes on Sundays from 9:30 AM to 7:00 PM. In addition, when WSU is in session, UTA plans to operate an additional shuttle service every ten minutes within the campus (between WSU main campus and Dee Events Center stations only) from 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM. This essentially results in service every five minutes over this section of the line.
The revenue service date is 04/09/2024.
