Operative words

As part of the ongoing effort to limit the spread of the COVID-19 virus, keep everyone safe and ensure fiscal responsibility, Utah Transit Authority will reduce service temporarily beginning April 5, 2020.... we have decided to focus our resources on providing critical service for those who depend on UTA for their essential travel needs at this time.... TRAX: Adjusting frequency from 15 minutes to 30 minutes. FrontRunner: Adjusting frequency from 30 minutes to 60 minutes... Suspending some commuter bus routes... Bus Operators and Transit Police Officers are not handling passes and will be conducting visual fare inspections only.... Signs have been posted on buses advising riders to board through the rear doors.

Enforcement

Carrier operating rules (fare inspection practice; boarding); no penalty clause

Notes

Regional transit authority's own ridership figures and service cuts in the week of Utah's stay-home directive. Service announcement graded context; the fare-handling and boarding rules are operating rules.
