Moving toward the future with a nod to the past
Through a partnership between the Federal Department of Transportation, Salt Lake City and South
Salt Lake municipalities and the Utah Transit Authority, the $37 million Sugar House Streetcar—
dubbed the “S Line”—launched service in December 2013 along a two-mile route between the TRAX
Central Pointe Station at 2100 South and 200 West to 2250 South McClelland Avenue (1050 East) in
the Sugar House commercial district. The line is reminiscent of streetcars that played a key role in
developing Salt Lake City’s suburban communities in the early 1900s. The Sugar House Streetcar and
accompanying walking and bicycle route greenway not only provide convenient public transit between
South Salt Lake, downtown and Sugar House, but also represent a critical link for the Parleys Trail,
connecting the Bonneville Shoreline Trail on the east and the Jordan River Parkway on the west.
