Historic Gardner^[3] is a light rail station in the West Jordan, Utah, in the United States, served by the Red Line of the Utah Transit Authority's (UTA) TRAX light rail system. The Red Line provides service from the University of Utah to the Daybreak Community of South Jordan.

Description

The station is located at 1127 West 7800 South and is easily accessible from that road. The station is situated just west of the Jordan River east of the historic West Jordan Ward Meetinghouse and the West Jordan City Cemetery. The historic Gardner Mill and the Gardner Village shopping area are across the street to the north. The station also provides access to the Jordan River Parkway trail. The station has a Park and Ride with about 130 free parking spaces available, but there are possible plans for an additional 120 parking spaces that would be shared with Gardner Village.^{[1][4][Note 1]} In the original planning stages, the station was referred to as "Gardner Village", but later changed to the current name.^[3][7] The station opened 7 August 2011 as part of the Red Line (Mid-Jordan) and is operated by the Utah Transit Authority.^[2]

All of UTA's TRAX and FrontRunner trains and stations, streetcars and streetcar stops, and all fixed route buses are compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act and are therefore accessible to those with disabilities.^[8] Signage at the stations, on the passenger platforms, and on the trains clearly indicate accessibility options. In accordance with the Utah Clean Air Act and UTA ordinance, "smoking is prohibited on UTA vehicles as well as UTA bus stops, TRAX stations, and FrontRunner stations".^[9]
