Frequently asked questions

Who can use UTA On Demand?

UTA On Demand is available to anyone (all residents, workers, and visitors) traveling in the southern Salt Lake County, Salt Lake City Westside, Tooele County, or South Davis County service areas during each zone’s respective operating hours.

Can I bring someone along with me?

You can request a ride for up to 5 additional riders in your vehicle with you. Each additional rider costs $2.50. The cost of all riders will be billed to the card on file.

How do I know where to meet my driver?

We’ll assign you a “virtual bus stop” where you’ll meet the vehicle, usually at a nearby corner or no more than a block away. Check the app for directions and follow your driver’s progress in real-time so you know exactly when to head to your stop.

How do I get in contact with my driver if I can’t find them?

Once your driver is nearby, you’ll see a phone icon on your screen with the Driver Partner's name. You can tap on the icon and our app will connect you with your driver to help you find them.

How do I pay for my rides?

You can pay for your ride in the UTA On Demand app using a credit or debit card, FAREPAY card, or passes like the Eco Pass or Student Pass linked to your account. These cards can be added in your app or added to your account over the phone, just call 385-217-8191.

For those booking rides for multiple riders (ie. groups going to the same destination), you can now book using your method of payment and include up to 4 additional riders at no extra cost. This means the fare for a one-way ticket/ride is only $2.50. This is a trial feature and expires July 31, 2022.

You can also pay using valid UTA paper or mobile tickets or passes by selecting: ‘UTA Paper Ticket or Transfer’ in the app under Payment Methods* and show your paper or mobile ticket when you board. For more detailed ways to pay, visit the app help center. *Excludes cash.

Can I book rides without a smartphone?

Yes, simply call 385-217-8191 and we’ll assist you over the phone.

Can I book a ride in advance?

No, passengers cannot book rides in advance with the UTA On Demand service. Just book a ride a few minutes before you need to leave, and we'll connect you with a vehicle in real-time.

Can I book a UTA On Demand trip while riding the train?

Yes. Here's how:

In the app, enter your train station stop as your trip origin.
Book a UTA On Demand ride that is scheduled to arrive after your train reaches your train. If the on-demand vehicle is scheduled to arrive before you get to the train station, wait a few minutes and try again.
Meet your driver at the train station when you arrive. The app will show you where the pickup point is.

I got an error message that said my account is inactive and I need to select a payment method. How do I reactivate my account?

It looks like the payment for your most recent ride failed — to reactivate, head to the app

menu and choose from the following options to make sure you have an active card on file:

Tap on an existing card to make sure all info is up to date.
Tap on “Add a new payment method” and enter new card information. Be sure to also
set this as your default payment method.
If you loaded additional funds to a prepaid card, you’ll need to change your preferred
payment method to “UTA Paper Ticket or Transfer” first, and then immediately back to
your prepaid card to resolve the issue.
Need additional help? Email [email protected] or call us at 385-217-8191

Why was my trip delayed or reassigned?

Please note that your ride is shared, so detours may be taken to pick up other passengers from various locations like restaurants, food courts, shopping malls, etc. When tracking your driver, these additional stops might be noticed, leading to a longer route. The ride will be shared with other passengers to reduce costs and benefit the environment.

It’s also possible that your ride is reassigned or delayed due to traffic, unexpected road conditions, or other unforeseen events. In these cases, your ETA may increase or you may be reassigned so that we can get you where you’re going as smoothly as possible.

Make sure to keep an eye on your phone for live updates and you can always track your ride through the app!

Why did I get charged a No Show fee?

A No Show fee is charged when you were 2 or more minutes late to your pickup, as this delays your driver from picking up and dropping off other passengers along the way. The No Show fee is $1.

What is the No Show policy in Tooele County?

A no-show will be accrued if the rider does not cancel their ride a minimum of 30 minutes before the quoted pick-up time. The rider will be placed on a thirty-day suspension after accruing three no-shows. If a rider is suspended a second time, they will be suspended for sixty days, and after the third time, they will be suspended indefinitely.

Can I cancel my ride?

Yes, you can cancel your ride directly from the app or by calling customer service at 443-345-1001. Remember, canceling at the last minute can negatively impact other riders, so remember to cancel as soon you know that you don’t need a ride.

Cancellation Fees
A Cancelation fee is charged when you canceled your ride after booking, as your driver was already on their way to you and this affected the routing of other riders. The Cancelation fee is $1.

What should I do if my driver leaves without me?

Re-book directly in your app, and then send an email explaining what happened to [email protected]. You won’t be charged for this ride.

What do the vehicles look like?

All vehicles are branded with UTA On Demand's logo and colors, so they should be easy to spot.

Are vehicles wheelchair accessible?

Yes! Please let us know you need a wheelchair accessible vehicle when you book your ride by tapping your profile picture or image at the top of the app menu and tapping the Wheelchair Accessibility toggle to turn it on. This will also unlock door to door service.

Can I change my destination once I’m on board?

Unfortunately, it isn’t possible to change your destination when you’re already on a ride. If you need to change your destination, your driver will have to end your ride and you will have to go back into the app or call us on our booking line to book another ride to the correct destination.

By following routing, drivers ensure the quality of every passenger’s service.

Can I set a favorite location in the app?

Yes. Tap the Favorites tab in the app menu, then tap Set Home Address, Set Work Address, or create and name a new favorite.

What are the points of interest in the app?

These are locations we believe will be popular origins and destinations for rides. Select them to easily choose where you need to go to or from!

Can I leave feedback for my driver?

Feel free to fill out the feedback screen in the app after your ride.

Do I tip the driver?

No. Our drivers do not accept tips.

How do I reset my password?

Open the app and select “Get Started.” In the password box, select “Forgot your password?” and follow the prompts.

I left something in the vehicle — how do I retrieve it?

Please email us at [email protected] with a description of the missing item.

I can’t login to my UTA On Demand app. What do I do?

If you’re having trouble logging into your UTA On Demand app:

First, try restarting your app by exiting the app and logging back in.
Second, try updating your app by deleting the app and reinstalling it.

Still not working? Contact us at (385) 217-8191 and we can help!

Can I bring my bike?

We can accommodate bikes in a van as long as there is space available in the back and it doesn’t disrupt the ride for another rider. We cannot guarantee that we will always be able to accommodate a bike so it’s at the rider’s own risk. We usually try our best to be as accommodating as possible.

Doesn't FrontRunner cost more?

That depends. If you're traveling for more than one station then you can buy an upgrade ticket at a ticket vending machine before you board the train. If you're traveling from only one station to the next, then no upgrade ticket is needed.

Does UTA offer a paratransit service for riders with disabilities?

Yes! Learn more about UTA’s Paratransit Service ADA program here.

Can I transfer?

Yes. Like standard UTA services, UTA On Demand fares are transferable to and from other modes like TRAX and FrontRunner. Please note that due to the on demand nature of the service, transfers are not allowed between two consecutive UTA On Demand trips.

How do I report a complaint?

Please contact us at [email protected] or by calling our support line at 385-217-8191 to report a complaint. Be sure to include as much information as possible and we’ll do our best to help.
