Description
The station is located at 450 South Main Street, with the island platform in the median of Main Street. Courthouse Station is so named as it is situated just southeast of the Frank E. Moss United States Courthouse and west of the Scott M. Matheson Courthouse. An area known as Hotel Row, with a large number of hotels and motels, is south and west of the Station. The Station is the last northbound station serviced by all three TRAX lines. The station opened on 4 December 1999 and was part of the first operating segment of the TRAX system. It is operated by the Utah Transit Authority. Courthouse is the last southbound station within the Free Fare Zone in Downtown Salt Lake City. Transportation patrons that both enter and exit bus or TRAX service within the Zone can ride at no charge. Unlike many TRAX stations, Courthouse does not have a Park and Ride lot. The whole block immediately west of the Station is a single large pay-for-parking lot that sometimes hosts special events.
All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, as well as 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 or on the Red or Green Lines. 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".
