The Park City Municipal Corporation recently initiated Park City Forward – A Transportation Blueprint as an update to the 2011 Transportation Master Plan. Park City Forward is an ambitious and innovative effort to develop a blueprint for prioritizing transportation projects and strategies to address existing and future conditions. The purpose of the plan will look to improve safety, protect the natural environment, expand transportation choices and maintain our high quality of life for those that live, work, and play in Park City.

Park City Forward is an opportunity to envision our transportation future and develop a transportation blueprint for decades to come. Over the next 12 months, Park City Forward will engage residents, businesses, employees, regional agencies and visitors to define the transportation vision for Park City through the 2050 planning horizon. 

We need to hear from you! 

This is your opportunity to be part of an ambitious effort to expand the transportation choices we have in and around Park City – buses, sidewalks, cars, bikes, and whatever else comes next.

Please read the following information on the Park City Forward effort, then click here to review the draft vision and goals, and provide feedback.

Park City’s last transportation master plan was adopted in 2011. Since then, a lot has changed.

Park City remains home to long-standing residents who take pride in the city’s historic, small-town character. Yet, new growth is occurring across the region and Park City only becomes more popular as a year-round recreation destination. New technologies, changing demographics, and evolving travel preferences also continue to disrupt how people get around.

Business as usual will no longer work. Park City’s diverse community and travel needs create unique challenges for our local transportation system. New, bold, and innovative solutions are needed.

In Fall of 2018, the project team collected input from the Project Support Team, Technical Advisory Committee, participants in the September mobile workshops and community open house, and the online Transportation Values survey.   The team also examined trends in mobility, population and employment across the region, capturing the insights in the Transportation Briefing Book. Together, this input helped identify the following values as most important to Park City’s transportation system.

The values identified through these activities were critical to developing the project vision and goals underpinning the next steps in creating our transportation plan. 

The word cloud above represents key issues and opportunities described by participants.

Based on input from the community, A transportation Vision and set of Goals have been developed to guide our work as Park City Forward takes shape in the coming year. The Vision and Goals will also serve as an anchor point for implementation. As demographics change, new technologies and travel behaviors emerge, and decision makers come and go, the Vision and Goals will ensure ongoing implementation of Park City Forward supports our most important values.

Park City Forward is a key initiative of the Transportation Planning department. Together, your feedback, key stakeholders, City staff, and other contingents will be led by a nationally renowned  consultant team comprised of Nelson\Nygaard Consulting Associates and RSG.
