About this Location

Facility Overview

The 5600 W Old Bingham Hwy Park and Ride is an expansive, dedicated surface parking facility situated directly alongside the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) TRAX Red Line light rail station in West Jordan, Utah. Located in the southwestern quadrant of the Salt Lake Valley, this well-maintained open-air lot provides seamless intermodal connectivity for regional commuters, students, and event attendees. Because it is an open-air flat surface lot, there are no vertical clearance height restrictions, making it exceptionally accommodating not only for standard sedans and compact cars, but also for lifted pickup trucks, full-size SUVs, conversion vans, and commercial service vehicles. Wide drive aisles and generously sized marked parking bays allow for stress-free vehicle maneuvering and straightforward parking.
