At first the program was met with skepticism initially, only the stations constructed in Salt Lake City incorporated public art into their designs. Works of public art included at several stations were developed as part of the UTA's Art in Transit program. Many of the canopies are designed to resemble the canopy at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building (which is located Downtown and listed on the National Register of Historic Places). The stations along the UTA TRAX network are open-air structures featuring passenger canopies for protection from adverse weather. There are 50 stations on the 3 lines of the UTA TRAX system, with an overall length of the network being 44.8 miles (72.1 km). As of December 2012, the network serves over 60,600 passengers a day, making TRAX the 9th-largest light rail system in the United States in ridership. The network consists of three lines: the Blue Line (previously referred to as the Sandy Line), which opened in 1999 the Red Line (previously referred to as the University Line), which opened in 2001 and the Green Line, which opened in 2011. (The official name of TRAX is Transit Express, however this name is almost never used.) Communities served by the service include Draper, Midvale, Murray, Salt Lake City, Sandy, South Jordan, South Salt Lake, West Jordan, and West Valley City. TRAX is a three-line urban light rail mass transit system operated by the Utah Transit Authority (UTA), serving much of the Salt Lake Valley in Utah, United States.
