Millcreek is a light rail station in South Salt Lake, Utah, United States serviced by the Blue Line and the Red Line of Utah Transit Authority's TRAX light rail system and by UTA's 3500 South MAX bus rapid transit line.

The 3500 South MAX provides service from this station to Magna via West Valley City.

Description

The station is located at 210 West 3300 South (SR-171)^[1] and is easily accessed from 3300 South (and the nearby I-15/3300 South interchange) via 230 West (Washington Street). However, eastbound buses access the station by turning north on 300 West, then west on West Gregson Avenue, and then south to the station on 230 West. In addition to TRAX service by the Blue and Red Lines, Millcreek is also the eastern terminus for the 3500 South MAX bus rapid transit line, with service to West Valley City and Magna. The station has a free Park and Ride lot with over 100 free parking spaces available.^{[1][Note 1]} The station opened on 4 December 1999 as part of the first operating segment of the TRAX system ^[3] and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.

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.^[5] 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. 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".^[6]
