Facility Overview
Situated within the aviation and transit corridor of Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC), the Park and Ride facility at 200 Admiral Byrd Road offers expansive, accessible parking designed primarily for air travelers, regional transit users, and airport campus visitors. Structured as a sprawling, paved open-air surface lot, the facility provides wide drive aisles, clearly demarcated stalls, and simple directional wayfinding. Because it is an open-air surface parking facility without overhead height barriers or low-clearance ceiling constraints, it comfortably accommodates a wide range of vehicle sizes, including standard passenger sedans, full-size pickup trucks, oversized SUVs, passenger vans, and vehicles equipped with rooftop cargo containers or ski racks.
Prime Location & Nearby Attractions
Located on the eastern boundary of the airport complex, this facility serves as a vital strategic connection point between downtown Salt Lake City and the modern terminals of SLC International Airport:
- Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) Terminals: Located just minutes away via dedicated airport shuttles and express roadway links, offering frictionless access to passenger departures and arrivals.
- UTA TRAX Green Line (Airport Station): Immediate transit connectivity linking passengers directly to downtown destinations, including Vivint Arena / Delta Center (home of the Utah Jazz), the Salt Palace Convention Center, and City Creek Center within a 15- to 20-minute train journey.
- Airport Business & Freight Corridor: Adjacent to major airline operational offices, rental car return complexes, flight kitchens, and logistics hubs along Admiral Byrd Road and North Temple.

Access, Navigation & Transit Connectivity
Ingress and egress are straightforward and optimized for high-volume turnover. Drivers can reach the lot via North Temple, Terminal Drive, or 2100 North, connecting immediately to Interstate 80 (I-80), Interstate 215 (I-215), and the Bangerter Highway. This highway positioning allows drivers coming from downtown Salt Lake City, Davis County, or Utah County to bypass terminal curb congestion.

Visitor & Driver Tips
Plan to arrive at the parking facility at least 20 to 30 minutes earlier than your desired terminal arrival time to account for shuttle boarding or transit transfers. Take a photo of your parking row marker or zone letter upon leaving your vehicle to facilitate an effortless return after your trip. If you are catching early morning flights or arriving during winter weather, allow extra time for snow clearing operations along the airport corridor, and ensure your vehicle is winterized for extended stays during Utah\'s colder months.
