FrontRunner Schedule & Live Tracker Guide

About FrontRunner

FrontRunner is UTA's commuter rail line running roughly 90 miles north–south along the Wasatch Front. It connects Ogden in the north to Provo in the south, passing through Salt Lake City and dozens of suburban stations. Trains operate on a timetabled schedule with peak frequency during morning and evening commute hours.

North–South stations

FrontRunner serves over 20 stations along the I-15 corridor. Key stops from north to south include:

• Ogden (northern terminus)
• Clearfield, Layton, Farmington, Woods Cross
• Salt Lake Central (major transfer hub with TRAX)
• Murray, Sandy, Draper
• American Fork, Lehi, Orem, Provo (southern terminus)

Most stations have park-and-ride facilities and direct TRAX or bus connections at key interchange points.

How to check live departures

Open the FrontRunner live tracker to see active trains on the north–south corridor in real time. Tap a station stop to pull up the arrival board for that station. Each departure shows the scheduled time and, when a live trip update is available, the projected time adjusted for current delay.

• Projected times update continuously — no refresh needed.
• Train markers on the map move in real time as trains progress along the line.
• Tapping a train reveals its trip details including current delay status.

Reading delay info

A delay is expressed in minutes relative to the scheduled departure or arrival. If the tracker shows “+4 min” next to a departure, the train is projected to arrive four minutes after its published schedule. Negative values (early arrivals) are rare on FrontRunner but can occur at intermediate stops on lightly loaded trips. The delay figure comes directly from UTA's GTFS-realtime trip updates feed.

Tips for daily commuters

• Check live departures 10–15 minutes before you plan to board — FrontRunner runs on a tight headway and missing a train can mean a long wait during off-peak hours.
• Salt Lake Central is the busiest interchange; allow extra time if you're connecting to a TRAX line there.
• Service alerts appear automatically on the tracker — review them on heavy weather days or during special events.
• Monthly pass holders: validate your pass at station validators before boarding to avoid fare disputes.
