Visitor & Driver Tips

Arrive before 8:00 AM on typical weekdays to secure the stalls closest to the train platform. Overnight and multi-day parking are generally restricted to standard 24-hour transit windows, so check posted UTA signage if planning an extended stay. In winter months, exercise standard caution as open-air surfaces may experience morning frost or snowpack prior to city and transit plowing operations.
