Description
The station is located at 301 West South Temple immediately north of the Vivint Smart Home Arena, with the island platform in the median of the street. The station opened on 4 December 1999, and was part of the first operating segment of the TRAX system. It is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. The station is included in the Free Fare Zone in Downtown Salt Lake City. Transportation patrons that both enter and exit bus or TRAX service within the Zone can ride at no charge. Unlike many TRAX stations, Arena does not have a Park and Ride lot.
All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses, are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities. Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. Ramps on the passenger platform and assistance from the train operator may be necessary for wheelchair boarding on Blue Line (weekdays only). These ramps are not used on weekends or on the Green Line. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".
History
This station was originally the northern terminus of TRAX until 27 April 2008, when the extension to the Salt Lake Intermodal Hub (Salt Lake Central) opened As of 9 December 2012 the Green Line was rerouted and Arena became the temporary northern terminus. With the opening of the airport extension on 14 April 2013, service continued on to the Salt Lake International Airport.
Arena was previously called Delta Center, but when the name of the arena was changed to EnergySolutions Arena, the UTA Board of Trustees officially changed the station name to Arena in December 2006. "EnergySolutions" was not included in the name as the UTA Board decided to no longer allow corporate names on stations.
