"Contactless" Fare

UTA Ski Bus now lets you "touch and ride"
Contactless Fare

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is testing a new payment method that makes it quicker and easier to ride the ski bus. Beginning with the 2006-2007 ski season, UTA ski buses will be equipped with the technology to make your ride more convenient.

At the front of the bus, you'll find two electronic readers - one for "contacless" debit/credit cards and one for passes and badges.

To use your season ski pass, employee identification badge or Ski Salt Lake Super Pass, touch it to the UTA logo on the large reader and you're on your way. Each pass or badge contains embedded technology to keep track of its use.
Contactless Fare

To pay with a "contactless"* debit or credit card, touch your card to the card network logo on the smaller reader and you will automatically be charged the $3 fare. To pay for more than one fare, just make multiple touches. It's that simple.

No matter which type of card you use, you will know that your touch was successful when you get a green light and an "approved" message on the larger reader.

A pilot program exclusively for ski bus riders

UTA is partnering with Alta, Brighton, Snowbird, Solitude and the Salt Lake Conventions and Visitors Bureau for this pilot demonstration. UTA will also be the first transit agency to demonstrate the new “contactless” debit and credit card payment system on buses.

Through this pilot program, UTA will be able to evaluate the convenience that “contactless” fare payment solutions provide passengers. It will also help UTA provide better service by monitoring ridership and pass usage.

Your participation and feedback will be both helpful and appreciated.

What if I have a problem with my card?

If you have any problem using your card, please get an assistance card from the operator. The assistance card will have contact information to help you resolve your problem. For additional questions, please call UTA’s customer service department at 1-888-RIDE-UTA or visit UTA’s website at www.rideuta.com.

*Only debit/credit cards with the "contactless" feature may be used as a form of payment on UTA ski buses.
