In a statement Tuesday afternoon, Ski Utah President and CEO Nathan Rafferty lauded the additional service. Routes will serve Sandy, Midvale and Cottonwood Heights, with stops at various hotels and public park-and-ride lots. Riders will need to secure a reservation and pay a $10 round-trip fee. Weekly ridership capacity will start at 784 but will ramp up to more than 1,100. “Salt Lake is the perfect urban base camp for winter adventures and our goal is to create a seamless experience.” “We felt strongly about helping to create a way for our visitors and locals to enjoy more options to reach our mountain playground,” Visit Salt Lake President and CEO Kaitlin Eskelson said in a statement. The company will serve Alta, Snowbird, Solitude and Brighton. Snow Country Limousine will contract with the tourism-touting nonprofit to provide the supplemental service with vans and mini-coaches Thursdays through Sundays, beginning Jan. The reductions, announced in September, affected a swath of the region’s transit network and included suspending service on one ski bus route and reducing frequency on two others.Ĭounty Mayor Jenny Wilson’s office, meanwhile, has fielded numerous calls complaining about long lines and waits for the buses that are operating. The funding comes a month after the Utah Transit Authority reduced its ski bus service amid a driver shortage.
