The Summit County Council on Wednesday approved an ordinance setting up a new type of Snyderville Basin Transit District. County Council Member Roger Armstrong says that is a big step not only for the County, but could affect many transit stakeholders in the whole Wasatch Back.
Roger Armstrong said they’ve had a Transit District for a while, but starting back in the 1990s, it contracted with Park City for service.
Armstrong told KPCW that growth has occurred in the Basin, and the county has garnered revenue with new transit sales taxes, so the city and county started to think about different roles.

In his last interview for 2020, we asked County Council Member Roger Armstrong to reflect on an earthshaking year. In response, Armstrong said from his vantage point, he saw county officials and staff rising to the challenges of a pandemic and more.
Armstrong said that at this time last year, it’s safe to say, nobody in the world was predicting 2020.
“I’m thinking all of us, thinking as human beings, anticipated that life was gonna go on the way we normally wanted it to, and then that changed abruptly. And we started the year off, I think we had earthquakes, we had the pandemic, we had all kinds of ridiculous things happening all at the same time. They said, “Okay, 2020’s gonna be different than you expected.” And then in the middle of all that the Hideout controversy started, and we had to convert resources to that.”
