UTA Energy Efficiency Project

UTA operates a 15 mile light rail line which runs through the communities of Sandy, Midvale, Murray, South Salt Lake, and Salt Lake City.  Its plan to implement an energy savings program at the 16 park and ride lots resulted in 70 less tons being emitted to the environment and a savings of $8,417 in energy bills from the previous year.

UTA was able to do this by first conducting energy audits and then using that information to improve its lighting systems. The savings is reflected in the following table:
