Via’s vision for Summit County.

Summit County connects millions of residents, tourists, and employees to Colorado’s stunning nature each year. As the region’s popularity grows, so does the strain on the County’s roadways, parking, and wider transit system. 

On-demand microtransit can offer first- and last-mile connections to both local and regional fixed-route transit, making car-free life possible even in areas that are less densely-populated. 

Learn how Colorado’s leading provider of tech-powered transit can deliver a high-impact, regionally integrated microtransit service in Summit County.

Transform Your Transit Today

Explore Summit County in Remix.

Local and regional fixed-route buses will always play a critical role in Summit County’s network. But augmenting these routes with microtransit zones can extend the reach of public transit, making car-free journeys possible across the County.

Explore the Remix map of Summit County to see how three potential microtransit zones could upgrade your network. Use the isochrone tool Jane to see how far people can travel with microtransit and fixed-route working together. Toggle layers showing car-free households, workplaces, and poverty rates to see where on-demand can be especially impactful.

Multimodal regional transit
See how the UTA partnered with Via to offer microtransit alongside their Fixed Routes.

Microtransit can be a valuable addition to a transit network — but careful service design is needed to ensure you complement, rather than compete with, your existing fixed route buses. Learn how the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) worked with Via to plan a thriving multimodal network.

Summit County Headshot - Tamara Pogue
“If our goal was that no route should take more than 30 minutes to get across the county, there might be incidents where that microtransit ride gives them a ride directly (to their desired location), or where it brings them to a fixed route, depending on whatever parameters we set for that system.”
