Utah Transit Authority (UTA):

Central Pointe is a light rail station in South Salt Lake, Utah, in the United States, served by all three lines of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX light rail system. In December 2013, the station also became the western terminus for the S Line (formerly known as Sugar House Streetcar). The Transit Police (UTA's Police Department) has its offices adjacent to Central Pointe.

The TRAX portion of the station is located at 221 West 2100 South and the streetcar portion is located at 193 West Utopia Avenue. Both portions are easily accessible from eastbound 2100 South, a major east-west corridor that marks the boundary between South Salt Lake and Salt Lake City. Both portions of the station are also accessible from South 300 East (south of West 2100 South), via West Utopia Avenue (West 2170 South). (West Utopia Avenue runs between [behind both] the Office Depot and the Glidden Paint Center.) The station has one island platform for TRAX and a separate side platform for the S Line streetcar. The S Line passenger side platform is located just southeast of the TRAX island platform and is situated east of both sets of TRAX tracks, but west of the single set of tracks for the S Line. It only accessible from the southern end of the TRAX platform. The station is the southern most station that is served by all three TRAX lines. Central Pointe opened for service on 4 December 1999 as part of the Blue Line, built in preparation for the 2002 Winter Olympics. Streetcar service began on 8 December 2013. The station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 57 parking spaces available, however, commuters are prohibited from parking in the adjoining shopping center lot. Five covered bicycle lockers are also located at the station, which must be rented from UTA in advance for a fee. Two ticket machines are located on the platform that provide single-ride, round trip, and day passes, as well as family and discounted fare tickets. The vending machines are cash-only and provide change in dollar coins and quarters only. The station is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
