Many of the Downtown Salt Lake City stations are located within the Free Fare Zone which allows riders that both enter and exit TRAX and/or UTA buses service within the Zone to ride with no charge. TRAX Park and Ride lots may have as few as six parking spaces or as many as nearly 1200. Nearly all stations, except those in Downtown Salt Lake City, have a Park and Ride lot with free parking.
The program has since grown in popularity, and many of the stations constructed as part of the FrontLines 2015 expansion will include public art in their final design. This was the case as the city was initially the only one to take part in the Art in Transit program. At first the program was met with skepticism initially, only the stations constructed in Salt Lake City incorporated public art into their designs. Works of public art included at several stations were developed as part of the UTA's Art in Transit program. Many of the canopies are designed to resemble the canopy at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (which is located Downtown and listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The stations along the UTA TRAX network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather. There are 50 stations on the 3 lines of the UTA TRAX system, with an overall length of the network being 44.8 miles (72.1 km). As of December 2012, the network serves over 60,600 passengers a day, making TRAX the 9th-largest light rail system in the United States in ridership. The network consists of three lines: the Blue Line (previously referred to as the Sandy Line), which opened in 1999 the Red Line (previously referred to as the University Line), which opened in 2001 and the Green Line, which opened in 2011.
