Good May to you!
The weather is warming up and the pandemic is finally waning, so let’s get out of the house!
UNPHC EDX has gathered everything you need to know to catch a ride. From bikes to scooters, rideshares to buses, and even trains, let’s get to our destination with the least amount of impact on our climate and pocketbook.
- FrontRunner trains provide access from Ogden to Provo. Weekday service starts at 4:30 am and stop just after midnight. TRAX, the light rail system, provides access to Downtown SLC from across the valley on three color-coded lines.
- Red line provides service from the University of Utah, through downtown, to 6400 South and west to the Daybreak community.
- Blue line begins downtown at the transfer station and runs south to Draper.
- Green line begins at the Salt Lake International Airport, runs through downtown Salt Lake and to West Valley City.
Buses connect service at TRAX and FrontRunner stations to get you almost anywhere in the Greater Salt Lake Area and bus routes run across the Salt Lake Valley, Ogden, Utah County, Brigham City, Park City, and up Big and Little Cottonwood Canyons.
FAREPAY is a reduced fare for those with income restrictions, disabilities, and seniors. Sign up and hop on!
