Provo Central station is anintermodal transit station inProvo, Utah, United States. It is served by theUtah Transit Authority's (UTA)FrontRunnercommuter rail line as well as local, intra-county, and interstate buses. It is the southern terminus of the commuter rail system, with service running north as far asOgden. The station is also known asProvo Intermodal Hub,Provo Station, orProvo CRS. It is part of theFrontRunner South extension.
The station is at 690 South University AvenueU.S. Route 189 on 15 acres and covers a two city block area between Freedom Boulevard (200 West) and University Avenue.[5][6] It is accessed fromI-15 by way of either the University Avenue or Provo Center Street (SR 114) interchanges.
The station has aPark and Ride lot with over 800 free parking spaces available.[3] The station is one block east of theProvo Amtrak station, which is a stop for theCalifornia Zephyr. While there are several retail business (including fast food restaurants) just south of the station, it is within walking distance of downtown Provo. The station is within theQuiet Zone, so all trains (including Amtrak's and Union Pacific's) do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[7][8] The station opened, along with the rest ofFrontRunner South, on December 10, 2012[4] and is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
The ProvoFrontRunner Station is the main part of the Provo Intermodal Center. UTA refers to it as an intermodal center because of theUtah Valley Express (UVX)BRT transfer station just south of the rail platform. UVX connects the station withOrem Central station by way ofBYU andUVU.[9]

Having completed Phase One of the Provo Intermodal Center which includes theFrontRunner station, the local and intra-county bus stops, and the Park and Ride lot, UTA completed Phase Two in 2018 and anticipates to have Phase Three complete a few years after that. Phase Two included accommodations for UVX as well as a parking structure, built on the northeast corner of the Park and Ride lot and adjacent to the University Avenue viaduct. Phase Three is anticipated to includemixed-use,transit oriented development (TOD). However, unlike the TOD at other stations (such asStation Park at theFarmington station), UTA plans to include these facilities within the confines of the intermodal center, rather than just close by.[10]
