PROVO FRONTRUNNER

By Lorena Gonzalez

The Provo Frontrunner will be opening on December 10th 2012. The
prices on Frontrunner depend on how far you’re going. The stations that will
be available to you are the:

North Temple: Approx. 500 West 200 South
Salt Lake Central: 300 South 600 West
Murray: 127, Vine Street
South Jordan: 10351 South Jordan Gateway

In November 2006, residents in Utah County voted to increase their
sales tax by $.0025 in order to fund accelerated work on four light rail
projects and the FrontRunner South line. These projects were originally
part of the Wasatch Front Regional Council’s 2030 Long-Range Plan. The
additional funding accelerated the delivery of these projects 15 years earlier
than projected.

The Frontrunner schedules are being determined through the testing.
The schedule will be released towards the end of this month.
To introduce riders to the new $850 million extension of the
FrontRunner commuter rail between Salt Lake City and Provo, the Utah
Transit Authority will offer free rides on that stretch on Saturday, Dec. 8.
There will be trains running every 30 minutes from 10 A.M. to 10 P.M.
