The newly released audit aimed to evaluate how UTA has performed in the 10 years since its last audit found the agency gave away millions in sweetheart deals and dramatically increased salaries for top executives, among other problems.
The audit urged the agency to prioritize on-time service and integrated planning with new developments across its seven-county service area.
“The audit validates a lot of effort over these last few years to remedy some kind of long-standing issues at UTA, and certainly issues that were identified from 10 years ago,” UTA board chair Carlton Christensen said. “I don’t think any of us were shocked about those recommendations; we know they are areas we needed to work on and, it’s always healthy to have an outside perspective.
UTA has only recently worked on plans to reduce these types of delays, the audit states, but it is making progress with the Utah Department of Transportation to reduce delays through traffic signal priority on critical routes like Redwood Road.
