Millcreek station is a light rail station in South Salt Lake, Utah, United States serviced by the Blue Line and the Red Line of Utah Transit Authority's TRAX light rail system. The Blue Line provides service from Downtown Salt Lake City to Draper. The Red Line provides service from the University of Utah to the Daybreak community of South Jordan.

Description

The station is located at 210 West 3300 South (SR-171)[1] and is easily accessed from 3300 South (and the nearby I-15/3300 South interchange) via 230 West (Washington Street). However, eastbound buses access the station by turning north on 300 West, then west on West Gregson Avenue, and then south to the station on 230 West.

The station has a free Park and Ride lot with over 100 free parking spaces available.[1][Note 1] The station opened on December 4, 1999 as part of the first operating segment of the TRAX system and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.

Notes

  1. ↑ Recently UTA announced that beginning July 1, 2013 it will start a one year pilot program involving most of its TRAX and FrontRunner Park and Ride lots. The purpose of the new program is to make rider connections with the Salt Lake City International Airport more convenient by avoiding the need to park at the airport. The programs allows UTA patrons to park for an "unlimited amount of time" in the designated Park and Ride lots. In addition, UTA will allow free parking in all of its parking garages. Previous UTA policy limited parking to no more than 24 hours, except at its parking garages. As part of the year long pilot program, "UTA will measure parking lot usage and monitor costs, maintenance requirements, impacts to snow removal and security issues before determining if the program will be extended." There are eight Park and Ride lots that are excluded from this test program and the 24-hour time limit will still apply to these lots. Millcreek Station's lot is specifically not included in this test program.[5] Notwithstanding permission to park for extended periods in the applicable Park and Ride Lots, updated signage at the stations advises that the UTA Transit Police request that they be notified anytime a car is parked in one of the lots for more than seven days.
