The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) has launched several new informational tools for riders, including a mobile-trip planning application, revamped website, social media hub and carpool matching database.

UTA's mobile application can be accessed via any web-enabled smart phone, cell phone or mobile device by pointing the device's web browser at www.uta2go.com. The new application includes route schedules, maps and a trip planner.

The new website includes an improved trip planner, simplified navigation and greater emphasis on rider information.

The UTA also has expanded its social media interaction, including Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, YouTube and three new blogs, at www.letsrideuta.com.
