Ogden Express connects with FrontRunner
Description
The Ogden Express will connect the Ogden Intermodal Transit Center with Lindquist Field, The Junction, the Ogden/Weber Municipal Building, downtown Ogden, Ogden High School, Weber State University (including the Dee Events Center), and McKay-Dee Hospital. Much of the route will run along Harrison Boulevard (Utah State Route 203). UTA had anticipated having the Ogden Express operational by 2020, but by late May 2020,: 35  construction was not expected to even begin until fall of the same year.The BRT service will connect with Greyhound inter-city buses and the FrontRunner at Ogden Intermodal Transit Center. The FrontRunner is a commuter rail service run by UTA that operates along the Wasatch Front with service from Provo, through Salt Lake County (including Salt Lake City), Davis County, Weber County, and Ogden. The FrontRunner also connects with UTA's TRAX light rail system in the Salt Lake Valley as well as Amtrak's California Zephyr (which runs daily between Chicago, Illinois and the San Francisco Bay Area).
Plans call for the Dee Events Center Campus Shuttle Stop to be upgraded to a transit center that would serve automobiles and bicycles (with bicycle facilities), as well as connect with local bus routes.: 3 The planned schedule is for the Ogden Express to run every 10 minutes on weekdays between 6:00 am and 5:00 pm, but reducing to every 15 minutes for the remainder of the 20–hour schedule. On weekends the frequency will be every 15 or 30 minutes.
