The 22-foot, 15-passenger true low-floor Frontrunner achieved a score of 91 on the new pass/fail test implemented in 2017.
FrontRunner is centered on Salt Lake City and connects 15 stations between Provo and Ogden.
Allegra played an integral role in developing UTA’s extensive rail system and oversaw the completion of the FrontLines 2015 project, which included construction four light rail lines and one commuter rail line.
The 45-mile extension of FrontRunner doubles the length of the line when combined with FrontRunner North, which began operating between Ogden and Salt Lake City in 2008.
The agency is working to improve reliability on its FrontRunner South service, after extending it between Provo and Salt Lake City in December. The new schedule will add a bit more time to individual commutes, but should alleviate timing issues and delays riders experienced before.
Rail was planned in an effort to expand and enhance public transit between Salt Lake City and Utah counties. However, the agency had to cut the length of some bus routes to accommodate the new rail line, due to budgetary constraints.
