FIND LOST ITEMS
RFTA is not responsible for items left on a RFTA bus or at a bus stop; however, if the item is turned into RFTA, we will do our best to contact the owner of the lost item. RFTA’s services span a 70 mile corridor from Aspen to Glenwood Springs on Hwy 82 and from Glenwood Springs to Rifle along Interstate 70, with routes up to Snowmass Village, Woody Creek, and through Aspen, Basalt, El Jebel, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, Silt, and Rifle.
We offer two ways to search for a lost item: via phone or email.
Phone 970-384-4888
Email lostandfound@rfta.com
The Lost and Found phone and email lines receive a large number of inquiries. Messages are returned as soon as possible.
PLEASE make sure your phone mailbox is setup to receive messages and it is not full.
When contacting Lost and Found please be prepared to give the following information:
- Your name
- Your contact information
- Description of lost item (please be detailed)
- Date item was lost
Depending on where the item was lost or turned in, it could end up at Rubey Park Transit Center, our Aspen Bus Maintenance Facility (AMF) or our RFTA Blake Offices in Glenwood Springs. When items are found or turned in at any of our facilities, they are logged into a database along with their location.
