Announcement of Little Cottonwood Canyon Travel Improvements

Yesterday, we announced that we are moving forward with enhanced bus service, a mobility hub, resort bus stops, tolling, and addressing roadside parking near the ski resorts over the next two years to improve the travel experience in Little Cottonwood Canyon. 

Buses will run every 10–20 minutes during peak periods, and new stops at Snowbird and Alta will improve comfort and handle more passengers. A mobility hub near the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon will give travelers a central place to park and transfer to buses, reducing cars in the canyon. We are also exploring a tolling system and removing winter roadside parking to reduce congestion and improve safety.

“We need improvements in the canyon now to address the traffic challenges we are experiencing today,” said Devin Weder, UDOT project manager. “By moving forward with these buses and infrastructure improvements, we are laying the foundation for a better, more reliable transportation system in the canyon.”
