Overview
- UDOT’s environmental assessment proposes winter bus service every 10–15 minutes initially, aiming for 5–7 minutes by 2050.
- Dedicated transit upgrades include a bus-only transitway on Wasatch Boulevard and a priority lane on Brighton Loop Road, with estimated travel-time savings of up to five minutes.
- Officials are evaluating a variable-priced, winter-only toll near Solitude’s Moonbeam lot to discourage single-occupancy vehicle trips.
- Rider facilities would add indoor bus stops with restrooms and lockers at Solitude and Brighton and safety enhancements at Cardiff Fork, Spruces, Silver Fork and Silver Lake stops.
- The omission of a gondola contrasts with the Little Cottonwood plan, where controversy and ongoing litigation have delayed earlier phases.
