New Trax Line Connects Daybreak to Salt Lake and Now the Airport
Written By: Elizabeth Gray
Good news for commuters and travelers: TRAX now links Daybreak to downtown Salt Lake City and, with a quick transfer, to Salt Lake City International Airport. In other words, you can hop on near home, ride into the city, and continue straight to your flight—no parking hunt required.
What’s New
First, Daybreak enjoys light‑rail service into downtown Salt Lake City. Then, thanks to the new airport connection, riders can transfer downtown and continue directly to Salt Lake City International Airport. As a result, the neighborhood now ties seamlessly into the region’s most important destinations—work, dining, entertainment, and air travel.

Why It Matters
- Less driving, more doing. Skip traffic and parking while you read, work, or relax.
- Connected lifestyle. Meet friends for dinner downtown or catch a show—then ride home.
- Travel made simple. With the airport connection, early‑morning flights and late‑night arrivals get easier.
While You’re Out
Before or after your ride, explore Daybreak’s parks, trails, and gathering places. Or, head to Downtown Daybreak for a bite, live music, or errands. New here? Learn the vision behind it all in the Daybreak Story and stop by the Info Studio for maps and model‑home directions.
Plan a Bike-and-Ride Staycation
Alternatively, pack your bikes and plan a mini getaway. Grab a group pass for just $14 (four people, round trip), then bike and ride to the Pony Express RV Park, where you can stay overnight in a cabin for only $25 for a family of four.
No Bike? Try GREENbike
Prefer to travel lighter? Thanks to Salt Lake City’s new GREENbike program, you won’t even have to pack a bike. For a reasonable fee, check out a bike at kiosks around the city. Even better, GREENbikes track your miles ridden, calories burned, gallons of gas saved, and the pounds of CO₂ emissions avoided—so every trip feels good and does good.
