Front Runner on Sunday!
In the interest of increasing public transportation on the Wasatch Front, we, the undersigned, hereby ask that the Utah Transit Authority offer Sunday Front Runner service for the benefit of the citizens desiring to utilize public transit.
Hundreds of citizens are left with no option but to drive or stay home because of the lack of adequate public transportation on Sunday. The state government has said that excessive driving is adding to the inversion problem in our valley. Increasing availability of mass transit could help eliminate a lot of unnecessary cars on our roads and thus decrease the amount of emissions being emitted into our valley airshed.
Why is this important?
In the interest of serving the citizens and protecting our airshed, it is reasonable to demand Sunday service for those people who have the need to commute from one city to another. The goal is to increase Public access to transportation, reduce auto emissions and build a sense of a sustainable community.
