SALT LAKE CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Utah.gov announced today the availability of OnTime for Glass, a first-of-its-kind transit-tracking app for Google Glass. Google Glass users may enable the free app now at http://ontime.utah.gov.

“OnTime for Glass brings Glassware to transit riders in a unique app that notifies them when their vehicle is approaching,” said David Fletcher, Utah chief technology officer. “OnTime for Glass is the most recent example of our long-standing innovation in web and mobile applications that help the citizens of Utah.
