A map of the entireUTA rail system as of August 2013 TRAX is a three-line urbanlight rail mass transit system operated by theUtah Transit Authority (UTA), serving much of theSalt Lake Valley inUtah ,United States . (The official name of TRAX isTransit Express , however this name is almost never used.) Communities served by the service includeDraper ,Midvale ,Murray ,Salt Lake City ,Sandy ,South Jordan ,South Salt Lake ,West Jordan , andWest Valley City .
The network consists of three lines: theBlue Line (previously referred to as the Sandy Line), which opened in 1999; theRed Line (previously referred to as the University Line), which opened in 2001;[ 1] [ 2] and theGreen Line , which opened in 2011. As of July 2023, the network serves 36,900 passengers a day, making TRAX the10th-largest light rail system in the United States in ridership .[needs update ] [ 3] [ 4] There are 50 stations on the 3 lines of the UTA TRAX system, with an overall length of the network being 44.8 miles (72.1 km).[ 4]
The stations along the UTA TRAX network are open-air structures featuring passengercanopies for protection from adverse weather. Many of the canopies are designed to resemble the canopy at theJoseph Smith Memorial Building (which is locatedDowntown and listed on theNational Register of Historic Places ).[ 5] Works ofpublic art included at several stations were developed as part of the UTA's Art in Transit program.[ 6] At first the program was met with skepticism; initially, only the stations constructed in Salt Lake City incorporated public art into their designs. This was the case as the city was initially the only one to take part in the Art in Transit program.[ 7] The program has since grown in popularity, and many of the stations constructed as part of the FrontLines 2015 expansion will include public art in their final design.[ 6]
Nearly all stations, except those inDowntown Salt Lake City , have aPark and Ride lot with free parking. TRAX Park and Ride lots may have as few as six parking spaces or as many as nearly 1200. Many of the Downtown Salt Lake City stations are located within theFree Fare Zone which allows riders that both enterand exit TRAX and/or UTA buses service within the Zone to ride with no charge. Stations within the Zone includeArena ,City Center ,Courthouse ,Gallivan Plaza ,Library ,Old GreekTown ,Planetarium ,Salt Lake Central , andTemple Square .
All of UTA's TRAX andFrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant withAmericans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.[ 8] Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platforms on the Blue Line and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding (weekdays only). These ramps are not used on weekends nor on the Red or Green Lines. In accordance with theUtah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, andFrontRunner stations".[ 9]
Blue Line train atGallivan Plaza station , December 2004UTA's TRAX began service on December 4, 1999, with the opening of what was then called the Sandy/Salt Lake Line (now called the Blue Line) which ran fromSandy Civic Center toDelta Center (now called Arena).[ 1] The line saw construction of a pair ofinfill stations with the opening of900 South in 2005 andSandy Expo in 2006 and the600 South in 2022 as a result of demand for additional service.[ 10] [ 11] TheUniversity Line (TRAX) commenced service on 15 December 2001 betweenStadium and Delta Center.[ 2] The line expanded in April 2008, when three new stations opened betweenPlanetarium andSalt Lake Central .[ 12] The Sandy/University Line began service on December 17, 2001, between Stadium and Sandy Civic Center.[ 13] Originally operating on a limited schedule, by August 2009, trains were added to the line serving all stations between Sandy Civic Center andUniversity Medical Center .[ 14] Expansion as part of the FrontLines 2015 project saw the completion of an additional 25.2 miles (40.6 km) of track by August 2013.[ 4] The completion of theAirport andDraper extensions added service to theSalt Lake City International Airport andDraper .[ 4]
Salt Lake Central (which is part of the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub) connects withFrontRunner commuter rail (with service fromWeber County throughDavis County andSalt Lake County toUtah County ), as well asAmtrak andGreyhound Lines . In additionMurray Central andNorth Temple Bridge/Guadalupe also connect withFrontRunner . In December 2013 the first phase of theS Line (formerly known as Sugar House Streetcar) project opened for service with a connection atCentral Pointe in South Salt Lake.
