It’s fall break for many Utahns this weekend and the sun is shining again.

If you’re itching to get out and do something with your family, the Utah Transit Authority has a free way to get there. From Friday through Sunday, the transit agency will not charge fares systemwide.

The pause in fare collection comes as UTA completes upgrades that will create a “faster, more convenient and flexible” payment experience for riders, and will also lay the foundation for enhancements to the agency’s Farepay system.

After the work is completed, UTA says Farepay users should update their account passwords and log in to the upgraded system. Riders can do that by visiting farepay.rideuta.com.

For route planning, download the Transit app.
