As I read it, the Utah Legislature reorganized UTA, got rid of the 'corporation' model (strong, highly paid executive, appointed, largely passive board), and replaced it with a 'commission' model.
The bill replaces UTA’s current part-time, 16-member board with a full-time, three-member commission, effective Nov. 1, to better oversee the agency hurt by its track record of high executive salaries, extensive travel and sweetheart deals with developers.
Elsewhere, it was suggested the the 3-member model was based off the Utah County commission model, where each commissioner took authority and responsibility for one segment of UTA. Not sure how that will play out with UTA's internal organization. IIRC, operations, service planning, capital development, and rail were different functional divisions? (Can't find a current org chart, and the UTA weblink to 'governance' is a 404).
