Salt Lake City
The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) runs the 35.5-mile (57.1 km) light rail system known as TRAX in the Salt Lake Valley. The system, which opened in 1999, serves approximately 58,300 people every day and contains 69 vehicles. The system has three lines, coded by the colors red, green, and blue. The red line begins at the Daybreak Community in South Jordan, Utah and ends at the University of Utah. The blue line begins in Sandy and ends in Downtown at the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub. The green line extends from the blue line in South Salt Lake, Utah and ends in West Valley City, Utah at the Maverik Center. UTA is currently extending the blue line from Sandy to Draper, Utah as well as a new line that takes passengers from Salt Lake City International Airport into downtown. Those lines are expected to be completed by late 2012.
