You may notice something a little unusual the next time you board TRAX. “Sam”, our UTA Safety Martian, will be riding the Red, Blue and Green lines throughout the rest of the month. He’s been placed on our rail system as a reminder help keep UTA safe by notifying Transit PD anytime you see something out of the ordinary or potentially dangerous. If you spot something that just doesn’t look right, report it to Transit PD at 801-287-EYES or text CRIMES (274637) and start the text with “UTA Tip” and a description of the incident.

Take a Selfie with Sam

We’ll pick our favorite three entries next Thursday, Aug. 31 and give winners the choice of a UTA 30-day pass or a UTA messenger bag.  See below for official entry rules and details.
