Roy station is a FrontRunner commuter rail station in Roy, Utah, United States. It is operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA).

Description[]

The station is located at 4155 South Sandridge Drive on approximately 20.5 acres of land[4] and is accessed from 4000 South (SR-37) at 2300 West. Unlike nearly all other stations served by the FrontRunner, the station is located in a primarily residential area.

The station has a free Park and Ride lot with about 500 parking spaces available.[2] The station is located within the Quiet Zone, so trains do not routinely sound their horns when approaching public crossings within this corridor.[5] The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the station southbound at 8:30 am on April 26, 2008.[3]

FrontRunner[]

On weekdays the FrontRunner has about twenty-three round trips between Ogden and Provo (through Salt Lake City) and about five more round trips between Ogden and Downtown Salt Lake City. On Saturdays there are only nineteen round trips between Ogden and Provo. Trains run hourly from about 4:30 am to just after midnight on weekdays (with additional half hour runs for the morning and evening commutes). Saturdays have hourly runs from about 6:00 am to 2:30 am Sunday morning. Since August 2013 the FrontRunner does not run on Sundays or holidays. Each weekday, service is extended to Pleasant View station with two trains picking up (no dropping off) passengers early in the morning and two more trains picking up and dropping off passengers in the evening.[6]
