UTA Welcomes Train to Utah County

The Utah Transit Authority (UTA) delivered its first FrontRunner commuter train to the future Lehi FrontRunner Station in Utah County on June 11. UTA has completed track work on the new, 45-mile commuter rail line that will connect Provo to Salt Lake City, and will test the train on the track until the line opens for service on Dec. 10.

“Almost exactly six months from today, we will begin carrying passengers on FrontRunner from Provo to Salt Lake, and will have a total of 90 miles of commuter rail along the Wasatch Front,” said UTA General Manager Michael Allegra. “Once open, this line will connect Utah County directly into a network of more than 140 miles of passenger rail that will be completed by 2014, stretching from Provo to Weber County. Our communities will have more transportation choices and connectivity than ever before.”

The new FrontRunner extension will feature stations in Murray, South Jordan, Draper, Lehi, American Fork, Orem, and Provo, with a future station in Vineyard. It will connect to the existing FrontRunner line at Salt Lake Central Station.
