The new station includes public artwork titled “The Crossing,” created by Utah artist Jiyoun Lee-Lodge. “It’s incredibly exciting to see this project come to fruition.” Local government agencies and developers were brought together by a shared goal to address the evolving transportation needs of our rapidly growing city, and the Wasatch Front at large,” Carlton Christensen, head of UTA’s board said in the release. “This project was truly one of collaboration. UTA, the city’s Redevelopment Agency and private developers pooled funds to pay for the $3.4 million station. Stout lauded the city’s efforts in building the stop and creating transit options for residents.Ĭity officials wanted the new station because the area is sprouting new homes and offices. TRAX runs seven days per week, with 15-minute frequency during peak times. But the stop likely will be in high demand, he added, when the block that used to be home to a large Sears store - near 800 South between Main and State streets - is redeveloped. Services / TRAX TRAX TRAX, UTA’s light rail system, offers convenient connections to community destinations, shopping centers, schools and universities, FrontRunner stations, bus hubs and Park & Ride lots throughout the Salt Lake valley. “It’s probably a little premature to be putting it in,” Stout said. Fare is 2.50 and trains run every 15 minutes. Passengers should exit door 1A and go east. The Airport to TRAX station is located on the ground level outside the terminal on the east side. Given the new station’s proximity to the courthouse stop, Christopher Stout, co-founder of the Utah Transit Riders Union, is not convinced the system needs the 600 South platform at this point. The TRAX light rail Green Line begins at the Salt Lake International Airport, runs through downtown Salt Lake and then out to West Valley City.
