Utah Transit Authority (UTA):
Kimballs Lane is a light rail station in Draper, Utah, in the United States, served by the Blue Line of Utah Transit Authority's TRAX light rail system. The Blue Line provides service from Downtown Salt Lake City to downtown Draper. This station is the only TRAX station that will connect with the only bus route that runs between Salt Lake County and Utah County.
The station is located at 11796 South 700 East (SR-71) and is easily accessed off that road from either 11400 South or 12300 South (Draper Parkway). Access to the main Park and Ride (situated directly northeast of the passenger platform) is only by way of a short section of 11800 South which is directly north of the station--there is no direct access from 700 East. There is a second, smaller Park and Ride lot southwest of the passenger platform which is located at 667 East Kimballs Lane and is accessed from that road. The bus stops are located between this smaller lot and the passenger platform. The station is located within a residential area of the city, with little commercial development nearby, however, the Skaggs Catholic Center (which includes Juan Diego Catholic High School) is several blocks west. Immediately southwest of the station is the Porter Rockwell Trail. Both of the station's Park and Ride lots are free. The station opened 18 August 2013 as part of the Draper extension of the Blue Line and is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
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. 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".
