Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC), commonly known as Uttarakhand Roadways, is the government-operated bus service for the state of Uttarakhand, India. UTC operates buses across Uttarakhand, connecting it with neighboring states such as Himachal Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Punjab, Haryana, Delhi, Chandigarh, Rajasthan, Jammu, and Madhya Pradesh.

With a vast network spanning over 387,000 kilometers, UTC serves more than 120,000 passengers daily.

UTC's motto is to provide adequate, efficient, well-coordinated, comfortable, and economical services to its passengers while earning enough for self-sustenance and growth.

## History

[edit]

After the formation of Uttarakhand state on 9 November 2000, the Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC) was established in Dehradun on 30 October 2003, under the provisions of the Road Transport Act, 1950. Upon its establishment, UTC inherited 957 buses from the Uttar Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (UPSRTC). Subsequently, in 2004, UTC expanded its fleet by purchasing 480 additional buses.

## Supporting infrastructure

[edit]

The corporate office of the corporation is situated at Dehradun. For efficient functioning the corporation has been divided into 3 divisions Dehradun, Nainital and Tanakpur. Each region has a regional workshop where major repair and maintenance work as well as assembly reconditioning work is performed.

One tyre retreading plant is established at Dehradun to provide in-house tyre retreading facilities.

Each region has been further divided into operational units called Depots. The total number of depots in the corporation is 19. Each depot has a depot workshop attached to it to provide supportive maintenance facilities.

## Fleet

[edit]

The Uttarakhand Transport Corporation (UTC) owns and operates a fleet of over 1,345 buses. Of these, 950 buses are directly owned by the corporation, while the remaining fleet consists of various models, including Volvo, Janrath AC, CNG, and several diesel buses, which are operated under contract.

UTC categorizes its buses into five categories:

1. Volvo buses
2. Janrath buses
3. Ordinary buses
4. CNG buses
5. Low-floor buses, which operate in association with JNURM to serve urban areas.
