Facility Overview
The parking facility at 750 S 800 W serves as the primary Park & Ride lot for the Woods Cross FrontRunner commuter rail station in Davis County, Utah. Designed as an expansive, paved surface lot, it provides an organized, ground-level parking solution for daily commuters, regional travelers, and visitors to south Davis County. Because it is an open-air lot without parking decks or low-overhead beams, there are no vertical clearance restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating for oversized vehicles, including full-size pickup trucks, passenger vans, roof-rack-equipped SUVs, and commercial service vehicles.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Commuter volume peaks between 6:30 AM and 8:30 AM on weekdays; arriving slightly ahead of prime morning departure times provides your choice of stalls nearest the train platform. While standard surface parking at this UTA park-and-ride facility is complimentary for transit users, vehicles left unattended for extended periods should consult posted transit regulations to avoid overnight towing. Always lock your vehicle, conceal personal items from plain view, and utilize the UTA GoRide mobile app or platform ticket machines for rail fares before boarding.
