Park City
changes came in 2021 when
the county formed a regional
transit system, High Valley
Transit (HVT), which
allows PCT to focus on the
city service.
" Whi le our staffing
The subsidized
housing units
resemble
hotels with
most of them
fit for single
occupancy.
needs were reduced by approximately
40 percent, we
still find ourselves in need
of more employee housing, "
said Fjeldsted. " HVT experiences
the same issue and they are pursuing housing for their
operators, as well. "
The agency is also working to support operators wanting to
stay on after the winter season and establish a life in Park City.
" The cost of living has just gotten worse in Park City, "
said Fjeldsted. " We were struggling to recruit and retain
full time employees so we started to set aside some of our
seasonal housing for them to live there year-round in the
hopes that they will be able to put some money aside to be
able to get their own place or get on one of the city's affordable
housing programs. "
Fjeldsted notes the program has retained some bus operators
for up to four years in Park City.
Overall, the quality of life for PCT employees
has improved. They can experience
the city and all it has to offer with
tasty foods and access to the ski resorts in
the area, they get to " live like the locals. "
Expanding accessibility
To increase access to flexible transportation,
Park City will re-launch its microtransit
service in partnership with
HVT in July 2024, which will grant the
Park City community access to transportation
in its more dense areas.
Riders will be able to put in their
destination on the High Valley app and
their entire trip will be planned for them,
including bus routes.
The Park City Council has indicated it
may establish a permanent microtransit
service in the future but wants to evaluate
ridership data from the pilot before
making any decisions.
PCT is working to expand its housing
units to continue to provide better
living for its employees.
