Utah Transit Authority (UTA):
Sandy Expo is a light rail station in Sandy, 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 Draper.
The station is located at 9375 South 150 East and is easily accessible from the intersection of 9400 South and 150 East. There is also pedestrian and bicycle access from the Porter Rockwell Trail (Sandy Railtrail) on the west side of the tracks. The station serves local shopping destinations, such as the Jordan Commons, as well as the nearby South Towne Exposition Center (for which the Station is named), and Rio Tinto Stadium (home of Real Salt Lake). The station was opened on 28 August 2006 and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. Sandy Expo was the second infill station to be built along an existing TRAX line, after the 900 South infill station opened the previous year. Unlike many TRAX stations, Sandy Expo does not have a Park and Ride lot. As a "destination station" it only has a drop-off/pick-up area, with no motor vehicle access to the station.
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".
