Case Study: Utah Transit Authority enhances safety and lowers costs with Omnitracs SmartDrive

Why Utah Transit Authority was Ready for a Video-Based Safety Program

Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is a public transit agency serving the Utah Wasatch Front across six counties with a large, mixed fleet and a 45‑year history of innovation. Facing the need to better protect vehicle operators and passengers, reduce risk across buses and paratransit vehicles, and lower operational costs, UTA sought a robust video‑based safety program.

After evaluating vendors, UTA selected Omnitracs’ SmartDrive program. SmartDrive’s in‑vehicle recorders capture extended video and vehicle data, and clips are reviewed, scored and prioritized by SmartDrive’s Review Center for targeted coaching. With integration to active safety systems and support for third and fourth onboard cameras, the solution gave UTA faster insights into risk, improved driver coaching and stronger protection for passengers and the public while helping control operating costs.
