The Ogden Intermodal Transit Center is a commuter rail train station in Ogden, Utah, United States, served by the FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail that operates along the Wasatch Front with service from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County. It provides an interchange between the FrontRunner trains and both UTA local inter-city and Greyhound Lines inter-state bus service.
The Ogden Intermodal Transit Center is frequently referred to by various names, even by UTA itself, with the Ogden Intermodal Center being the most common alternative. Other names include the Ogden Station, the Ogden Central Station, and the Ogden Transit Center. However, it should not be confused with the Ogden Union Station, which is a train station just south of the Transit Center (which has not had rail service since May 1997).
The Transit Center was built on approximately 15 acres of land and opened in 2002 with UTA bus service only. The FrontRunner construction was later completed to provide commuter rail service. The FrontRunner train service began in 2008. It is anticipated that if Amtrak (the National Railroad Passenger Corporation) should ever resume passenger rail service to Ogden (particularly the Pioneer) the Transit Center would be used as the stop.
The Transit Center located at 2350 South Wall Avenue (SR-204). However, even though it is adjacent to 24th Street (SR-53), Wall Avenue has limited access from 24th Street (2400 South). The Transit Center has a free Park and Ride lot with about 475 parking spaces available. It is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.
