A criminal syndicate operating out of the Utah State Prison in the early 1980s might have played a role in the suspected murder of Theresa Rose Greaves nearly 40 years ago.
The electric buses to be delivered to the UTA and Park City Transit will be 40-foot (12.2m) in length. Gillig’s battery electric bus comes equipped with the Cummins electrified powertrain and features the proven Low Floor platform to offer the most comprehensive as well as advanced zero-emission public transit solution. With more than 200 years of combined transit experience and a countrywide service network, Gillig is now America’s leading zero emissions bus manufacturer.
In addition to delivering the electric buses, Gillig will be responsible for installing sixteen plug-in charging systems as well as four high-power on-route chargers. It is worth-mentioning here that lack of adequate charging infrastructure has thus far remained a big hurdle on the way to mass adoption of EVs. It is for this very reason that governments and electric automobile manufacturers like Tesla are aggressively boosting their efforts to create huge networks of EV chargers at easily accessible locations
Gillig, one of the largest U.S. bus manufacturers, has received a noticeable $44.2 million contract for 44 electric buses and related charging infrastructure.
SALT LAKE CITY The Utah Transit Authority is, to an extent, set to take on rideshare services Lyft and Uber with a new late-night microtransit pilot program launching in Salt Lake City this week.
The agency announced Monday that it will begin a new late-night, on-demand service in downtown Salt Lake City Thursday with the global public transportation tech company Via. The program is essentially a hybrid between rideshare tech apps and public transportation. UTA On Demand by Via allows users to hail a ride by using the Via app from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays throughout the summer. Shana Quinn, an innovative mobility researcher for UTA, said Tuesday that the service is a test to see what the level of demand there could be for a late-night public transit from workers whose shifts may run late or people who attend events that end late.
