Description
The station is located at 900 South 200 West. The island platform, capable of serving up to four-car trains, is located in the median of 200 West between 800 South and 900 South. Unlike many TRAX stations, 900 South does not have a Park and Ride lot. This station is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
As part of the UTA's Art in Transit program, 900 South features three 12-foot (3.7 m) high glass sculptures featuring the likenesses of 15 neighborhood children. Created by local artists Dan Cummings, Dinah Ihle and Kerry Transtrum, the sculptures are meant to illustrate the diversity of the people living in the neighborhood adjacent to the station. The artists also created four platform benches in the shape of clasping hands in the central portion of the platform, between the two canopies resembling the canopy at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building.
All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, as well as all fixed route buses, are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities. Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platform and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding on Blue Line (weekdays only). These ramps are not used on weekends or on the Red or Green Lines. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“It is possible—indeed possible even according to the old conception of logic—to give in advance a description of all ‘true’ logical propositions. Hence there can never be surprises in logic.”
—Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
“Everything to which we concede existence is a posit from the standpoint of a description of the theory-building process, and simultaneously real from the standpoint of the theory that is being built. Nor let us look down on the standpoint of the theory as make-believe; for we can never do better than occupy the standpoint of some theory or other, the best we can muster at the time.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“An intentional object is given by a word or a phrase which gives a description under which.”
—Gertrude Elizabeth Margaret Anscombe (b. 1919)
