Utah Jazz Transportation

Heading to a Utah Jazz game? We know the excitement of game day, and stressing over transportation shouldn't be part of it! Luckily, Salt Lake City makes it simple, thanks to the Utah Transit Authority (UTA). With convenient options like buses and the TRAX light rail, getting to and from the Delta Center downtown is smooth and stress-free. Whether you're a local fan or visiting just for the game, we’ve got you covered with tips to plan your trip like a pro. At Utah Guide, we want to ensure that your trip to the game is as smooth and enjoyable as possible.

Hop on a UTA Bus

UTA buses are an affordable and easy way to get to Jazz games. Covering Salt Lake City plus surrounding areas, they make it simple for everyone to reach the action. 

Here’s why UTA buses are a solid choice:

  • Great Coverage: Live on the outskirts of the city? No problem. UTA buses connect neighborhoods and communities all around Salt Lake City, giving you the option to park further out and take public transit downtown.
  • Convenient Schedules: UTA buses run frequently and align with game times. They even offer later services on event nights, so you won’t have to stress about post-game departures.
  • Affordable Rides: Whether you grab a single fare or an unlimited day pass, riding the bus is easy on your wallet. Use the UTA Transit app for contactless payments.

Need help finding the right route? Head to the UTA website and use their Trip Planner tool. Just pop in your starting location, and voilà.

Take TRAX Light Rail to the Game

If you’re after fast, no-hassle travel without dealing with downtown parking, TRAX light rail is the way to go. With three main lines (Red, Blue, and Green), TRAX connects much of the region, and the Arena TRAX Station is just steps away from the Delta Center.

Why pick TRAX for your Jazz game commute?

  • Super Accessible: The Arena TRAX Station drops you off right by the Delta Center. Whether you’re coming from the airport, suburbs, or anywhere on the TRAX line, you’ll get there smoothly.
  • Budget-Friendly: Like the buses, TRAX has affordable fares and day passes. Use the UTA app to grab your tickets ahead of time.
  • Plenty of Options: TRAX trains run often, especially during events, so securing a ride that fits your schedule is no sweat.

Not sure which line to choose? Here’s a quick guide:

  • Red Line: Travels from the University of Utah to the Daybreak area, passing through downtown Salt Lake City.
  • Blue Line: Connects Draper with downtown Salt Lake, with stops at key residential and city spots.
  • Green Line: Runs from Salt Lake City International Airport to West Valley City - perfect for out-of-towners flying in for the game.

Game Day Travel Tips

Taking public transit lets you skip the headache of traffic jams and limited parking downtown. To make sure your trip is even smoother:

  1. Check the UTA schedule ahead of time and plan your game day route.
  2. Arrive at the station or bus stop a few minutes early to stay on schedule.
  3. Download the UTA GoRide app for live updates and seamless ticket payments.

Public transit makes cheering for the Jazz easy and eco-friendly. Whether you’re hopping on a UTA bus or riding TRAX, you’ll get to the Delta Center hassle-free. It’s a slam dunk of a transportation choice.

Grab your tickets, plan your route, and get ready to enjoy the game! Contact us for more details about public transit options around Salt Lake City.
