Summit County has unveiled a new hub at the Frisco Transfer Center that officials hope will help improve ridership and encourage new users to ride public transportation for the first time.
The 3,600-square-foot building at 1010 Meadow Drive is the result of a $5 million project — with about half the funds coming from the state — to replace the previous structure at the property with something more inviting.
“This is a beautifully designed facility,” Summit County Commissioner Joshua Blanchard said. “So our goal is to destigmatize some of the thoughts around public transportation. This is open for anyone. We encourage everyone to come and take advantage of the Summit Stage and other public transit options.”
Every year, about 350,000 people pass through the Frisco Transit Center, Blanchard said, noting it is often people’s first introduction into the community. In addition to the free Summit Stage bus, the hub services the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Bustang, Pegasus and Snowstang buses, private shuttles, Greyhound buses, and a commuter route to Leadville. All four of Summit County’s ski resorts are accessible on the Summit Stage bus line.
