Provo is a commuter rail station in Provo, Utah, United States served by the ''FrontRunner'', Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail train that operates along the Wasatch Front with service from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County. The station is also referred to as Provo Intermodal Center, Provo Central Station, or Provo CRS by UTA. It is part of the ''FrontRunner'' South extension. ==Description== The station is located at 690 South University Avenue U.S. Route 189 on 15 acres and covers a two city block area between Freedom Boulevard (200 West) and University Avenue. It is fairly easily accessed from I-15 by way of either the University Avenue or Provo Center Street (SR 114) interchanges. Posted street signs direct both northbound and southbound drivers on University Avenue to access the station from 920 South and then 100 East, however, this route is best used for departing the station for northbound University Avenue (and thereby taking advantage of the traffic light to make the left hand turn onto northbound University Avenue). The easiest access from northbound University Avenue is to keep to the far right after passing 920 North and pass to the right of the viaduct and then turn left under the viaduct and directly into the station's parking lot. From southbound University Avenue, simply turn right at 780 South (at the bottom of the viaduct) and proceed 750 South and then directly into the Station's parking lot. The path to the station via 200 W is sometimes blocked by Union Pacific trains forcing the use of the viaduct. The station has a Park and Ride lot with over 800 free parking spaces available.〔 The station is one block east of the Provo Amtrak Station, which is a stop for the ''California Zephyr''. While there are several retail business (including fast food restaurants) just south of the station, it is within walking distance of downtown Provo. The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so all trains (including Amtrak's and Union Pacific's) do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Front Runner South FAQs )〕 The station opened, along with the rest of ''FrontRunner'' South, on 10 December 2012〔 and is operated by Utah Transit Authority. The Provo ''FrontRunner'' Station is the main part of the Provo Intermodal Center. UTA refers to it as an intermodal center because it plans on having a MAX bus rapid transit (BRT) line (Provo Orem MAX) connect at the intermodal center upon completion of that line. 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Fixed Route Accessibility )〕 Since not all ''FrontRunner'' passenger cars are wheelchair accessible, signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the passenger cars clearly indicate accessibility options. In addition, each train has one or more Train Hosts available to provide assistance as may be needed, including the placement of ramps for wheelchair boarding.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Riders with Disabilities )〕 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".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Rider Rules )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Provo (UTA station)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
