Names changes are a sore topic at the Utah Transit Authority, soon to become the Transit District of Utah under order of the Legislature. But a UTA committee approved a new name Wednesday for the Provo-Orem Bus Rapid Transit project.
Andrea Packer, UTA communications director, said that was the winner out of more than 350 names submitted for consideration by the public.
Officials from UTA, local governments and the state Department of Transportation narrowed the field to three finalists that were put to a public vote: Utah Valley Express, Timp Runner and Timp Express.
Packer said UVX won 520 of the 950 votes cast.
