All About SAM and STAR

Sandy’s transit department offers several types of transportation options. The services are designed to accommodate varying levels of accessibility in an integrated system. Every effort is made to make the fixed route services accessible and user friendly beginning with sensitivity training for professional dispatch and driving staff, to working through other city departments such as planning and public works to include curb cuts and Braille strips at all intersections along the fixed route, to the purchase of low-floor vehicles, and transit training excursions that combine adventure with learning to use the region’s transit system. The fixed route is supported with a demand-response service for door-to-door trips as needed to get to local services and act as a feeder service to the fixed route. A higher need of assistance requiring through door-to-door service outside of the service area is also available.
