Salt Lake City Light Rail Exceeds Projections
29 August 2003 - 12:00pm
Salt Lake City's TRAX Light Rail system carries over 65% more daily riders than predicted.
Construction of the 15-mile TRAX line between Sandy and downtown Salt Lake City began in 1997. It opened two years later. This main line and its first extension to the University of Utah, completed in 2001, are hauling an average of 31,000 daily riders -- 12,300 above original projections of 18,700, made by independent WFRC planners.
