High Valley Transit is a transit agency located in the Summit and Wasatch counties of Utah.[1] It operates throughout many different municipalities in the Wasatch Back, including Park City, Kamas, and Heber and provides fare-free service. The authority also provides a connection to the Salt Lake Valley via its 107 route.[2] It operates fixed-route bus services and the region's first micro transit service, relying on an app to schedule bookings.[3][4] High Valley Transit was created in 2021, after parts of Park City Transit were deemed largely inefficient in serving the greater Park City Area.[5]
History
High Valley Transit was established in 2021, as a solution to some areas of the Greater Park City Area being under served.[5] On May 17, 2021, High Valley Transit started with its microtransit program, partnering with Via Transportation before launching fixed-route services on July 1.[4] The transit authority acquired four Gillig diesel buses from Park City Transit, 680 and 630–33, becoming 10006 and 16007-16010 respectively.[6] In August 2022, High Valley Transit started construction on a new transit depot in East Basin to accommodate the growing service, replacing the temporary tent near Ecker Hill Middle School.[7] On December 11, 2022, High Valley Transit launched the 107 route to replace UTA's 901-902 routes.[8] In the beginning of 2023, High Valley Transit acquired eight Gillig electric buses, aiming to test and use such buses in the winter of 2024.[9] High Valley Transit also aims to take over operations of Park City's 10 White route on May 1, 2024.[6]

The Old Town Transit Center is the main transit hub for Park City, located near its historic Main Street. The hub is primarily used by Park City Transit, where all of its routes pass through the station. High Valley Transit's routes 101 and 102 pass through the Old Town Transit Center.
Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub
High Valley Transit connects to the Wasatch Front via the Salt Lake City Intermodal Hub, with its 107 Salt Lake Connector being the only route that connects Salt Lake City to High Valley's network. The Transit hub provides rail access to UTA's FrontRunner, Amtrak's California Zephyr, and UTA's Blue Line light rail service. The Salt Lake City Intermodal hub also provides connection to UTA's bus service.
