Roaring Fork Transportation Authority

 
     
 

     The Roaring Fork Transit Agency has been in operation since 1983, and functions as a Rural Transportation Authority. The RTA includes the communities of Aspen, Snowmass Village, Pitkin County, Basalt, a portion of Eagle County, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs and our newest member New Castle. RFTA provides commuter bus service from Aspen to Glenwood Springs (Roaring Fork Valley), Glenwood to Rifle (Hogback), intra city service in Aspen and Glenwood Springs, ski shuttle service to the four Aspen Skiing Company ski areas, Maroon Bells Guided Bus Tours, and a variety of other seasonal services. In 1996, RFTA was named the "Best Mass Transit System of North America" by Mass Transit Magazine. In 2003 RFTA was awarded three of the top honors by the Colorado Association of Transit Agencies (CASTA) including the award for "Large Transit Agency of the Year." In 2006 we were once again honored as the "Large Transit Agency of the Year."

   Additionally RFTA has been presented the "Distinguished Budget Presentation Award" for 2007, by the Government Finance Officers Association (GFOA) due to the work of our Controller, John Tangen.  According to the award letter, "This award is the highest form of recognition in governmental budgeting and represents a significant achievement by your organization."

    RFTA currently operates a fleet of over 82 vehicles and carried 4.1 million passengers in 2006. RFTA uses Biodiesel fuel in all of its fleet of diesel power vehicles including our hybrid buses, and ethanol in our gasoline vehicles. For RFTA's 2006 Annual Summary click here.
