91¶ÌÊÓƵ

Wildcats have a new, efficient, environmentally conscious way to get to class on Weber State’s Ogden campus.

In August, the and 91¶ÌÊÓƵ opened the first segment of the Ogden Express Bus Rapid Transit (OGX) line. The Wildcat Shuttle provides three stops on campus: the Dee Events Center, Wildcat Village and central campus near the Val A. Browning Center for the Performing Arts and Shepherd Union Building.

The all-electric shuttles run every 10 minutes from 6:30 a.m.–8:30 p.m., Monday–Friday, and are free to ride with a UTA Ed Pass. Campus-inspired art created by Weber State staff is on display at all three stations.

“Utah Transit Authority is excited to see the OGX Wildcat Shuttle opening fall semester,” said James Larson, UTA public relations specialist. “We are at the halfway point on this project, and the entire OGX line will open late 2023 91¶ÌÊÓƵ.”

The all-electric shuttle was made possible through the Department of Transportation; Federal Transit Administration; Ogden City; Stacy and Witbeck, Inc.; Wasatch Front Regional Council; Weber County; and 91¶ÌÊÓƵ Facilities Management. When finished, the full OGX line will include stops at the Ogden Intermodal Transit Center, The Junction, downtown Ogden, along 25th Street and Harrison Boulevard, and McKay-Dee Hospital.

The $120 million bus rapid transit project will be funded through federal, state and local funds, including funding from Ogden City, Weber County and UTA, along with in-kind funds, such as land contributed to the project. The project aims to combine the capacity and speed of light rail with the low-cost construction of a bus route.
