“Building the line on the campus was a game changer,” said manager of project research and development for UTA, Hal Johnson.

The UTA TRAX Red Line passing through the Fort Douglas station in Salt Lake City on Tuesday, Feb. The origins of why the Red Line, or “University Line,” swerves around campus rather than leading to its center, raises questions surrounding a network of prominent organizations and philanthropists’ involvement in campus design dating back to the mid-1990s, before the line existed and before so many buildings on campus displayed the “Eccles” name. Eccles, donations from the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the 2002 Winter Olympics. Several factors have influenced the design of U campus transportation, including well-known philanthropist Spencer F. Students hike half a mile to get from the station to the library and more than six-tenths of a mile to reach the A. Finally, the trail ends at a building where classes are held.
The trail begins at the University South Campus Station of the Red Line train, crosses the parking lot of the University Services Building, then passes the building’s loading dock, dodging Buildings and Grounds Crew vehicles before sneaking behind the central parking garage. “The temperature has been super unfriendly, so I have opted to use the buses majority of the time,” Adam said. Some students like Muwaffaq Usman Adam, an international graduate student from Ghana, walk miles to reach their first class, but with high parking pass prices, walking remains the closest and most economical option. This urban trail is what many students walk to get to class from the train. It won’t appear on any campus map, despite being traveled by thousands of students each week. An invisible trail exists on the University of Utah campus.
