Large crowds are expected in the downtown area this weekend (Oct. 6-7) for the semi-annual conference for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  Riders are advised to plan ahead to ensure that they arrive at their destination on time.

Saturday, Oct. 6

Extra TRAX trains will run before each session of LDS semi-annual general conference. The extra Blue Line trains will leave Sandy Civic Center for downtown every 10 min. from 7:58 a.m. to 9:18 a.m. Immediately following each session two extra Blue Line trains will be in service to Sandy.

All other trains will travel on their regular schedule. Trains depart every 20 minutes. Red Line trains run directly to the University. Passengers interested in traveling downtown will need to transfer to a Blue or Green line train anywhere between Fashion Place West and Courthouse stations. We recommend transferring prior to Courthouse Station to avoid overcrowding at that platform.

FrontRunner will provide regular Saturday service, with departures every 60 minutes. Trains leave Ogden at 16 minutes after the hour. Upon arrival passengers may choose to use TRAX, which will depart Salt Lake Central Station every 10 minutes. For passengers traveling north after each session, FrontRunner departs the station every 60 minutes at 57 minutes after the hour. The last northbound train departs Salt Lake Central Station at 11:16 p.m.

Buses will operate on their regular Saturday schedule.

Another option is the group pass – $14 for up to four riders round-trip during regular service hours. The group pass is good on TRAX, bus and FrontRunner.
