The permit allows for complimentary parking at Bonanza Flat’s designated paid parking areas, with a limit of two permits per household. The permits are valid until December 31 each year and can be revoked if misuse or abuse is detected. Vehicles with outstanding parking citations are not eligible for the permit.

In addition to the parking permits, Park City Municipal announced that the Purple Transit Route would expand by midsummer to serve all Bonanza Flat trailheads, providing another convenient option for accessing the popular recreational area.

The introduction of paid parking and expanded transit options aims to manage visitor impact while maintaining accessibility for local residents and supporting ongoing conservation efforts.
