UTA’s Community Advisory Committee (CAC) provides community perspectives to guide UTA’s long-term strategic priorities and short-term customer experience decisions. The UTA CAC is governed by the Community Engagement Department. The committee is a standing, non-governing, and non-decision-making advisory committee of no more than 13 members.

Role of the Committee

The committee fosters direct connection and collaboration between UTA and the public to improve how public transit systems are informed by and work for communities. The 3 areas of focus established by the CAC are engagement, policy, and design. The CAC provides the public and stakeholders the opportunity to influence transit services, projects, and community building.

Since its creation in 2018, the committee has been influential in customer experience planning, including improvements to the new wayfinding and signage packages at UTA and bus stops. The committee was instrumental in updating the charter in 2020 to reflect renewed goals of the committee, including advancing UTA’s community engagement work.

Meetings

The CAC meets quarterly, every March, June, September, and December. CAC meetings are approximately 1–2 hours, and the schedule alternates between in-person and virtual meetings.
