Project Overview
Park City has secured a series of federal, state, and county grants to improve bus stops throughout the community. Throughout this multi-year project, Park City Municipal will enhance access to transit, ADA accessibility, and add amenities at a total of 83 bus stops. The project is scheduled to be complete by December 2027. Check out which stops are being upgraded each year via the map below!Project Details
During the development of the last Short-Range Transit Plan (SRTP) and Park City Forward, community members consistently emphasized the need to improve bus stops across Park City. That feedback helped shape an effort to redesign and enhance bus stops and strengthen first- and last-mile connections to transit throughout the community. Park City has secured federal, state, and local funding sources, which will cover approximately 85% of the costs to improve 83 bus stops across the community.Individual bus stops were prioritized based on a 2018 Bus Stop Inventory and Accessibility Study, which evaluated ADA compliance, amenities, accessibility, ridership, and site conditions at each bus stop. We prioritized improvements based on project readiness and feasibility, and deferred some locations to align with future redevelopment.
This project enhances transit stops and connections to transit, making it easier, safer, and more comfortable to get around Park City without relying on a car. Bus stop upgrades include ADA-accessible boarding areas, shelters, seating, real-time information, and amenities like bike and ski racks. The project also enhances pedestrian and bicycle connections and adds safety features, such as traffic calming measures and improved sidewalks and crosswalks, to create a more accessible, reliable, and user-friendly mobility system.

- 2026: 24 bus stops, which included shelters at 6 stops, were constructed
- 2027: 41 bus stops, which include shelters at 18 stops, are planned for construction. Construction will begin in the late spring (weather permitting) and continue through the fall of 2027. The construction map below will be updated as a schedule for the 2027 construction season develops
You may have seen that some of the bus shelters constructed in 2024 include public art! Keep an eye out as we coordinate with the Public Art Advisory Board (PAAB) to add additional pieces of artwork as new shelters are constructed. Additional amenities such as bike racks, ski racks, and trash cans will also be provided at select stops. Be on the lookout as we add new amenities to stops reconstructed over the past few years.
