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.
You can request a ride for up to 4 additional riders in your vehicle with you.
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.
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.
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.
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 riders taking the 453 to connect to On-Demand in Tooele County, On-Demand drivers will collect their transfer slip when boarding. For more detailed ways to pay, visit the app help center.
*Excludes cash.
Yes, simply call 385-217-8191 and we’ll assist you over the phone.

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.
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.

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

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.
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.

During peak hours, eligible riders may receive a Lyft ride instead of a Via vehicle. Riders will not need to download the Lyft app for these rides.
In all zones except North Utah County you can travel as far as you need. In North Utah County, the zone is designed for short, local trips, so the maximum travel distance is 6 miles. Exceptions may be made to connect directly to FrontRunner stations.
