UVU students, as well as current faculty and staff, are eligible to receive free UTA passes with their UVU ID Card. Students must be registered for a minimum of 1 credit hour for the current semester to be eligible for the free pass. If classes are dropped, the UTA pass will be deactivated.
Automatic activation for the transit pass begins 5 days before the active semester and will stop working the day after the end of the semester if you are not registered for classes for the next term. The pass is for the cardholder only and cannot be used by another person. If a replacement is needed for lost or stolen cards, the patron must purchase a new UVID for $20. Students, Faculty, or Staff with a OneCard or UCCU PlusCard that does not have prior door access may need to bring it to Campus Connection for UTA activation. It will take approximately 48 hours before the pass is working.

All UTA Buses
TRAX
FrontRunner
UVX Line in
Orem and Provo
Passes do not allow the use of:
UTA Ski Bus

Start by planning your trip at rideuta.com. Select your start and end points to receive your personal itinerary. You can also find schedules, operating hours, maps, stations, and track your bus or train.
Riders on the Utah Valley Express may stand with their bikes on the accordion section of the bus. Bikes may also be hooked on vertical racks on the bus. Please walk bicycles while on platforms.
To ride, tap your UVU ID card against the card reader at the station. After the green light flashes, you’re clear to board. Remember to tap your ID against the card reader at your destination to tap off.
All UVX buses are level with station platforms for wheelchair accessibility and provide means for patrons to secure wheelchairs.
Enter and exit the bus through the second or third set of doors. Riders do not need to request stops with the pull cord. The UVX stops at each station every time.
Telephone communication for deaf or hard-of-hearing riders is available by dialing 711.

By providing your UVID number, route number, direction of travel, date and time of travel, along with the bus serial number and the operator name (if possible) enables us to help UTA and UVU resolve any issues with passes.
