Description
Description | The Utah Department of Transportation plans to implement changes over the next two years to ease traffic congestion in Little Cottonwood Canyon during winter months. The plan includes tripling UTA bus service frequency, adding two new bus stops in Alta and Snowbird, and introducing an electronic tolling system during busy winter days to reduce the number of cars traveling through the canyon. The toll is expected to be variable, ranging from $20 to $30, and will be located in the upper canyon starting just below Snowbird. This is Phase 1 of a multiphase plan, with a proposed gondola planned for Phase 3, though its future is uncertain due to ongoing legal challenges. |
