[[Interstate 215 (Utah)|I-215]] runs through eastern portions of the city parallel to [[Interstate 15 in Utah|I-15]], which lies farther east of the city. The [[Utah State Route 201|SR-201]] freeway lies along the northern border with Salt Lake City and continues west into Magna as an expressway. [[Utah State Route 154|Bangerter Highway]], which runs south from [[Salt Lake City International Airport]], traverses the approximate center of the city and services the rapidly growing western and southern ends of the valley. The [[Mountain View Corridor]] also runs through the western portion of the city. The city is served by several bus routes operated by the [[Utah Transit Authority]], and an [[Intermodal passenger transport|intermodal transport]]ation hub located in the city center near [[Valley Fair Mall (West Valley City, Utah)|Valley Fair Mall]] and the [[Maverik Center]]. In addition to local bus routes, the [[West Valley Central station|West Valley Intermodal Hub]] is serviced by the [[TRAX (light rail)|TRAX]] [[light rail]]'s [[Green Line (TRAX)|Green Line]], which was completed and began service in 2011.<ref>{{cite news |first=Steve|last=Fidel|newspaper=[[Deseret News]]|publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]]|location=[[Salt Lake City]] |title=2011 completion date for two TRAX lines announced|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700069890/2011-completion-date-for-two-TRAX-lines-announced.html?s_cid=rss-30|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101017220256/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700069890/2011-completion-date-for-two-TRAX-lines-announced.html?s_cid=rss-30|url-status=dead|archive-date=October 17, 2010|date=1 Oct 2010|access-date=7 Mar 2013}}</ref> It was also formerly served by the [[3500 South MAX]] [[bus rapid transit]] (BRT) line, which began service in 2008.<ref>{{cite news|last=Warburton|first=Nicole|url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/695249755/UTA-plans-bus-rapid-transit-line.html?pg=all|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140505114422/http://www.deseretnews.com/article/695249755/UTA-plans-bus-rapid-transit-line.html?pg=all|url-status=dead|archive-date=May 5, 2014|title=UTA plans bus rapid-transit line|date=3 Feb 2008|newspaper=[[Deseret News]]|publisher=[[Deseret Digital Media]]|location=[[Salt Lake City]]|access-date=28 Mar 2013}}</ref> The line was temporarily suspended on April 5, 2020, due to the [[impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on public transport]], and in the summer of 2022, UTA announced that the line would be permanently discontinued as of August 7, 2022.<ref>{{Cite press release |title=Service Adjustments |url=https://www.rideuta.com/Test-Pages/Service-Adjustments |access-date=July 4, 2022 |website=www.rideuta.com}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Davidson |first=Lee |date=July 22, 2020 |title=UTA is restoring bus and train service to 91% of pre-pandemic levels |url=https://www.sltrib.com/news/politics/2020/07/22/uta-is-restoring-bus/ |access-date=July 4, 2022 |website=The Salt Lake Tribune |language=en-US}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=OpenGov |title=August Change Day 2022 |url=https://stories.opengov.com/utahtransitauthority/published/He3iF15jp |access-date=July 25, 2022 |website=August Change Day 2022 |language=en}}</ref>
