About this Location

Facility Overview

The Jordan Valley Station Park and Ride facility serves as a vital multimodal transit hub located along the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line in West Jordan, Utah. Situated near 3240 West and 8600 South, this open-air, ground-level surface parking lot is designed to support daily commuters, regional visitors, and local healthcare workers.
