Utah's Department of Transportation is moving ahead with plans to implement toll roads in Big and Little Cottonwood canyons.
Appearing at the Utah Taxpayers Association's annual conference on Monday, UDOT Executive Director Carlos Braceras said the goal is to have toll roads in place by 2025 alongside increased transit service, targeting the increased congestion generated by the ski resorts.
The tolling gantry would be located above White Pine in Little Cottonwood Canyon, Braceras said, avoiding trailheads and other areas below the resorts. The location in Big Cottonwood Canyon is to be determined. To push skiers to ditch their vehicles for mass transit, Braceras said UDOT is looking at increasing bus service, including private bus service alongside Utah Transit Authority lines, and implementing a variable toll.
But Fisher told FOX 13 News that Save Our Canyons wants to see a more comprehensive strategy for all of the area's canyons. The group has concerns about people shifting their recreation spots to avoid paying, creating additional issues.
