Topic overview
Salt Lake City Transit — TRAX, Bus & FrontRunner
Salt Lake City transit runs on TRAX light rail, UTA bus routes, FrontRunner commuter rail, and the S-Line streetcar. Together they connect downtown, the University of Utah, Salt Lake City International Airport, Murray, Sandy, Ogden, Provo, and the wider Wasatch Front through a single UTA fare system and a shared transfer spine at Salt Lake Central.
Use UTA Tracker to see the combined SLC network on one live map, switch between bus, TRAX, FrontRunner, BRT, and streetcar filters, and tap into a route page for stops, schedule, and alerts. The map-first view makes it easier to plan a downtown-to-airport trip, a stadium event ride, or a multi-modal commute through Salt Lake Central.
