Park City to launch expanded winter shuttle service to Bonanza Flat

Park City Municipal is set to unveil an expanded winter shuttle service to the Bonanza Flat Conservation Area, enhancing outdoor access for snow enthusiasts. Launching this Friday, the shuttle service aims to provide dependable winter transportation to the region's high-elevation trails, allowing residents and visitors to enjoy the stunning scenery and recreational opportunities this winter. The newly extended shuttle will operate Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays from 8:45 a.m. to 4:45 p.m. until April 19, 2024, weather permitting. With service running every 30 minutes, it will be directly coordinated with Park City Transit’s 9 Purple Route, making it easier than ever for riders to hop on. Riders will conveniently board the shuttle at Empire Canyon Lodge, accessible via the 9 Purple Route from the Old Town Transit Center. This well-planned connectivity ensures that users can seamlessly transition from public transport to the outdoor adventure awaiting in the Bonanza Flats area. Each shuttle can carry up to 11 passengers along with four fat-tire bikes, cross-country skiing gear, and snowshoes. Pet owners will be pleased to note that dogs are welcome, provided they wear muzzles, making this service pet-friendly and inclusive for all outdoor adventurers. This initiative is made possible through revenue generated from paid summer parking, showcasing a thoughtful approach to funding public services in a sustainable way. Additional collaborative efforts involve key local partners such as Deer Valley Resort, Mountain Trails Foundation, Utah Open Lands, and Talisker, reflecting a strong community commitment to promote outdoor activities in the picturesque landscape of Park City.
