Description
editThe station is located at 9375 South 150 East and is accessible from the intersection of 9400 South and 150 East. There is also pedestrian and bicycle access from the Porter Rockwell Trail (Sandy rail trail) on the west side of the tracks.
The station was opened on August 28, 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.[1]
Unlike many TRAX stations, Sandy Expo does not have a Park and Ride lot.[2] As a "destination station" it only has a drop-off/pick-up area, with no motor vehicle access to the station.[1]
