Heads up, fellow poor Utah peeps!

I wasn't aware until just the other day but UTA has expanded their "reduced fare" program with the FarePay cards. If your annual income is approximately $30k or less, you can get the reduced fare of $1 and pay a maximum of $2/day for regular bus service and a weekly cap of $8.

While I'd prefer that we didn't charge for public transit at all in this country, $1 per trip is definitely a game-changer. I was just approved and my card should be arriving soon.

I've had multitudes of criticism for UTA over the years but I've got to admit this is a very positive step in the right direction for once.

I'm certainly more willing to overlook the time, hassle and still-lacking service coverage to ride the bus if the price makes it worth it.

I am a little startled to think that I make more than double the minimum wage and I still fall just low enough on the "poverty line" to qualify for reduced transit fare.
