UTA Website Usability Evaluation

Our team embarked on a usability evaluation project to assess the effectiveness of the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) website. This website serves as a crucial digital touchpoint for accessing public transit services across Utah, offering functionalities like buying tickets, locating vehicles in real time, and planning trips. Despite its comprehensive service offerings, preliminary assessments indicated that users faced challenges with the website's learnability, navigation, and alignment with user expectations. Through a detailed methodology involving user participation, task scenarios, and extensive data analysis, our findings pinpointed specific areas for improvement. This project not only highlights our capacity to uncover actionable insights but also underscores our commitment to enhancing user experience in public transit digital platforms.
