Case Study: Utah Transit Authority achieves enhanced fleet safety and lower operating costs with SmartDrive Systems

Utah Transit Authority - Customer Case Study

Utah Transit Authority (UTA) is a 45-year-old public transit provider serving 1,400 square miles across six counties with a 600-vehicle fleet. Seeking to enhance operator and passenger safety, improve operational efficiency and reduce costs, UTA evaluated multiple vendors and determined it needed a robust, transit-specific video safety program.

UTA implemented SmartDrive’s Safety in-vehicle recorders and Review Center services to capture and analyze video and vehicle data across buses, paratransit vehicles, shuttles and vans. The solution—featuring extended event recording, integration with active safety systems and multi-camera support—enabled prioritized video scoring and coaching, delivering faster risk insights, stronger protection for operators and the public, and lower operational costs.
