Utah Transit Authority (UTA):
Draper Town Center is a light rail station located in Draper, Utah, in the United States, served by the TRAX Blue Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX system. The Blue Line provides service north from this station to Downtown Salt Lake City.
The station is located at 1131 East Pioneer Road (12400 South). However, while there is easy pedestrian and bicycle access from East Pioneer Road (including direct connection to the island platform from the sidewalk on the north side of East Pioneer Road), vehicle access and parking is only possible from East Draper Parkway (12300 South). Connecting bus stops are on East Pioneer Road, southwest of the station platform. The station can be easily accessed on East Draper Parkway from 1300 East. The station was built in the historic center of Draper between 12300 South and 12400 South next to Draper's city hall, the Draper Poultrymen and Egg Producers' Plant (now operated as Intermountain Farmers Association [IFA]), and Draper City Park. It is situated in an area where the railroad right-of-way on which the TRAX line is built turns east-southeast at the base of a retail-covered hill to the northeast; the right-of-way (proposed for use in Phase 2 of the Draper Extension, and already incorporating a rails-with-trails multi-use path) continues east, then south and west in a curve following the contours of the land in order to gain elevation on its approach to the Point of the Mountain pass and enter Utah County. The Draper Branch of the Salt Lake County Library is located just south of the station (off 1130 East). Immediately south of the passenger platform (on the north side of East Pioneer Road) is an exhibit that includes an historic rail car and the history of Draper, particularly the history of egg production in the area.
