Good question. gis.utah,gov is not the owner of this data though, they 
merely act as a redistributor. UTA's license is here, although I am not 
quite sure it also pertains to their data: 
http://developer.rideuta.com/TermsOfUse.aspx

Paragraph 5 states: 'UTA grants You a limited, revocable license to use, 
reproduce, and redistribute UTA’s Web Services API (“Data”) in 
accordance with the terms of this section. You must present the Data 
with the following legend, prominently displayed: "Route and departure 
data provided by permission of UTA" unless otherwise agreed by UTA in 
writing.' [...]

I will get clarification from their legal team that our intended use is 
in concordance with our license.
