Proposals are as Follows:
Route 806
Lehi Station will have more trips added during morning and afternoon times with a slight alignment change.
Route 811
Alignment will be shortened due to low ridership and low return on investment of operating for this route. All of this alignment south of the Lehi FrontRunner Station will be discontinued.
Route 850
All inter-county bus connections will now be made by joining Route 850 & Route 871 at the Lehi FrontRunner Station to travel to the Draper Towne Center TRAX Station. All service for inter-county travel south of the Lehi FrontRunner Station will be along this route. This route will also provide Sunday Service.
Route 863
This route will have more trips added to allow for all day service, instead of just peak service. Some slight alignment changes might be added due to construction.
Route 864
This route will have more trips added to allow for more of a span in the service. Some slight alignment changes might be added due to construction.
Route 871
This route will be used to travel north of the Lehi FrontRunner Station to the Draper Towne Center. This change will give more connections between Utah County and the Draper Towne Center TRAX Station. TRAX connections will be more frequent with all day service on weekdays, 24 trips on Saturday and 24 trips on Sundays.
