Seniors and people with disabilities who use paratransit service in
the Salt Lake City area may soon be charged a substantially higher fare
than public transit riders.
The Utah Transit Authority, which serves Salt Lake City, is holding public hearings this month about a proposal to raise fares for its paratransit service this summer from $2.50 or $2.75 to $4 per trip. That would be double the expected public transit fare of $2. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, the authority has 4,200 paratransit customers.
