Land Use & Transportation Offices will be closed Monday, May 26, for the Memorial Day holiday.

Kick off a safe summer travel season this Memorial Day

The Memorial Day holiday kicks off the summer travel season, which is considered the busiest time on many roads. If you're hitting the road, be prepared and be safe.

Check TripCheck and wc-roads.com before you leave to plan out your route. Try to avoid peak travel times during the holiday. Allow yourself extra time to drive and consider leaving early.

Pack an emergency kit, water, snacks and other supplies in your vehicle. Check your vehicle's tires, lights, brakes and wiper blades before you leave.

As always, buckle up, follow traffic laws and avoid distractions. If you are at an event with alcohol or other drugs, plan for a safe way to get home. Never drive drunk or high.

Tell us what you think about the Microtransit Pilot Project in an online open house through May 30. 

In early 2026, riders in South Cooper Mountain, River Terrace and Progress Ridge areas will be able to use an app, website or phone call to schedule a microtransit shared-ride that picks up and drops off riders where they choose. 

The survey asks questions to help us decide the boundaries of the service area and the best hours of operation for this innovative public transportation service.
