end
AGENDA ITEM TYPE:
Service or Fare Approval
RECOMMENDATION:
Approve and authorize Executive Director to execute fare agreement 25-F28308 with Snowbird Resort for 2025/26 Ski Bus Passes.
BACKGROUND:
UTA and Snowbird Resort have a longstanding relationship. For many years, Snowbird and UTA have contracted together to provide transit service to employees and ski passholders.
UTA and its partners desire to continue efforts to encourage public transit in the canyons.
DISCUSSION:
UTA desires to continue this relationship with Snowbird by entering into a new Ski Bus Pass Agreement for the 2025/26 ski season. UTA will continue to invoice Snowbird based on the monthly ridership counts using UTA’s Electronic Fare Collection (EFC) ridership counting system.
Each resort has the option to choose one of two billing methods for its season passholders and employees: Daily with Adjustments and Daily with Weekly Cap. The Daily with Adjustments sets the daily fare rate to $8.00 per authorized rider for ski bus service and local service. The Daily with Weekly Cap limits the daily accumulated fare for the week to $28.00 per authorized rider and requires 100% pass participation by the selected user group. Snowbird has selected Daily with Weekly Cap for their season pass holders and employees.
