PARK CITY, Utah — The Transit to Trails program, which provides free public transportation to and from the Bonanza Flat Conservation Area on weekends, will be extended until October 31.

The pilot program was originally set to end on September 12. It was extended because of “overwhelming interest.”

The program was initiated on July 17 and has provided over 300 user trips to date.

“Folks are loving Transit to Trails,” said Wendy Fisher, Executive Director of Utah Open Lands.

Fisher challenges those in the conservation area to “challenge their inner steward.”

She said its vital we leave these lands loved instead of loved to death.

Even small things like picking up someone else’s doggy bag by the side of the trail can make a big difference.

Fisher encourages any program participants to fill out this survey.
