FOX 13 INVESTIGATES. Ridership has dropped, but assaults on UTA employees have grown exponentially since the COVID-19 pandemic, leaving drivers to ask why the agency continues to advertise itself as safe.
SALT LAKE CITY — For months, the FOX 13 Investigates team has been studying violent crimes on Utah Transit Authority trains and buses.
In preparing this report, FOX 13 News has quietly spoken with numerous UTA employees, none of whom agreed to be interviewed on camera.UTA policy prohibits employees from speaking with the media.According to UTA police, someone shot “five bullets” into a UTA bus on February 10, 2022. Arky said his lack of surprise comes from the way he’s witnessed society devolve over the past few years.
“From UTA’s standpoint, he wasn’t being forced back to work,” Arky said. “I think he was under the impression that maybe he needed to get back to work sooner than he wanted to come back to work, or felt he couldn’t come back to work, so there was probably a misunderstanding there. I think it’s been cleared up, and I think that he understands now, and we’ve addressed that with him.”
“They don’t do anything, I’m sorry to say,” Rudd said. “I’d say an acceptable would be two to three minutes.” Typically, only UTA police respond to cases involving buses or trains, although sometimes UTA will call another agency to see if officers can arrive faster.“My wife was thinking about coming to UTA, and I said absolutely not,” Rudd said. “No, I would not let my mother ride on it.”
“I grew up riding a bus, but as soon as I was able to drive them? I’m like – I'm not getting back on those buses!” Bills said. “I think they do say they’re safe because they’re trying to get people to ride it more, but I just think they’re that safe.”Rudd said he was assaulted by an angry passenger in Utah County.
