Frisco Transit Center

Built over 20 years ago, Summit County’s Frisco Transit Center was in dire need of an upgrade.

Servicing about 1,000 people a day — and expected to increase — Summit County, in partnership with CDOT and the Town of Frisco, moved forward with a master plan to replace the Frisco Transit Center.

The 3,600-square-foot Frisco Transit Center provides more amenities to travelers, including information and ticketing counters, a security office, a 24-hour bathroom, three additional bus bays, and enhanced, efficient access to transit. Inside the transit center, passengers have a place to relax, charge their electronic devices, and store their skis or snowboards for a short amount of time. New ski cubbies and television screens were installed to show transit times.

The new center has only one square corner — every other corner is off by at least eight degrees — an intentional design to mimic the mountain slopes around the town. The project team had to ensure every cut was made perfectly to achieve the architectural intent of the project.
