Description edit
The station is located at 782 West 200 South and is accessed from I-15 by way of the Pioneer Crossing (SR-145/American Fork Main Street) interchange. The station has a free Park and Ride lot with over 550 parking spaces available.[2] Although a large retail development is located to the north, just across I-15 from the station, there is no direct pedestrian access to the shopping center and there are currently no other commercial developments in close proximity either although residential developments are in the process of being constructed.[citation needed][original research?] The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[4][5] The station opened, along with the rest of the FrontRunner South, on December 10, 2012[3] and is operated by Utah Transit Authority.
