Summit County/Park City Regional Parking Needs Assessment & Policy Review

Overview

Summit County and Park City are conducting a regional parking needs assessment and policy review of the park and ride facilities across the region that serve key Summit County destinations. Summit County and Park City leadership have identified transportation as a critical area for further study and strategic planning. A majority of the Summit County workforce commutes into Park City and Kimball Junction from other cities, and Park City alone welcomes over half a million tourists annually. These transportation demands, combined with tourism, recreation, and special event visitors, contribute to significant congestion on the gateway corridors, SR-224 and SR-248.

During high-congestion times, drivers look for alternative routes through neighborhood streets, reducing the safety and comfort for pedestrians and cyclists. While the community has several park and ride lots, a comprehensive strategy integrated with public transit and active modes has never been identified.
