Roy is a station in Roy, Utah, United States served by FrontRunner, Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) commuter rail that operates along the Wasatch Front from Pleasant View in northern Weber County through Ogden, Davis County, Salt Lake City, and Salt Lake County to Provo in central Utah County.
The Station is located at 4155 South Sandrige Drive on approximately 20.5 acres of land[4] and is accessed from 4000 South (SR-37) at 2300 West. Unlike nealry all other stations served by FrontRunner, the Station is located in a primarily residential area.
The inaugural FrontRunner train departed the Station southbound at 8:30 am 26 April 2008.[3] 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]
FrontRunner has about 25 round trips on weekdays between Ogden and Provo (through Salt Lake City). Trains run hourly from about 4:30 am to just after midnight on weekdays (increasing to half hour runs for the morning and evening commutes). Saturdays have hourly runs from about 6:00 am to 1:30 am the next morning. There is currently no FrontRunner service on Sundays. Each weekday there is service to Pleasant View with two trains picking up passengers in the morning and two more dropping off passengers in the evening for the commute.[6]
