Rather than waiting for UTA's TRAX light rail to make its way to Rio Tinto/Kennecott Land's Daybreak community, the Kennecott team worked to accelerate the process by investing years of hard work and millions of dollars. Earlier this month, after eight years of effort, Kennecott and transportation officials dedicated the Mid-Jordan TRAX Line that makes two stops in the Salt Lake Valley's southwest end at the Daybreak community. Service to the general public began on Sunday, August 7th.
Daybreak, the award-winning, mixed-use community in South Jordan, Utah, was conceived around the idea of sustainability, and providing multiple transportation options for residents. Having options available provides better quality of life, reduces congestion and time spent commuting, while also reducing the number of cars on the road and the related emissions.
The Mid-Jordan Line gives Daybreak residents the option to reach shopping, work and recreation destinations by rail.
