TheOrange Line is a plannedlight rail line on theTRAX system in theSalt Lake Valley ofUtah operated by theUtah Transit Authority (UTA). It was proposed in April 2024 as par of a future realignment of light rail lines inDowntown Salt Lake City and would overlap with portions of the existingGreen andRed lines.[3] The Orange Line is planned to begin construction in 2029 and enter service by 2032 as part of infrastructure upgrades to prepare for the2034 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.[4][5]
The preferred route for the line, selected in January 2025, would run jointly with the realignedBlue Line fromAirport station to 400 West, where it would turn south to follow the Green Line. The Orange Line would then turn east onto 400 South to join the Red Line through Downtown Salt Lake City and theUniversity of Utah campus. The two lines would split beyondUniversity South Campus station with the Orange Line serving two stations on Arapeen Drive, where it terminates.[6] Other alternatives that were proposed would have had connections toSalt Lake Central station, but would have had several additional turns.[3][4]
