Park City will have micro transit again starting July 2. Micro transit operates like a free ride-hailing service such as Uber or Lyft. The city council recently approved a new contract for micro transit until April 2024.
Park City partners with Summit County’s transportation arm High Valley Transit on the service. High Valley Executive Director Caroline Rodriquez said it’s not a guaranteed door-to-door service, unlike what some riders may have experienced before.
“We may need to adjust, for example, the walk tolerance,” Rodriquez said.
“So within Park City where it’s more dense than sort of out in the unincorporated county, we might ask people to walk a little bit longer on both ends of their trips. To make sure that they’re not getting an origin to destination taxi ride, and that they really are on the most appropriate mode for their trip.”
She said when people put in their destination on the High Valley app, their entire trip will be planned for them, bus routes included.
