Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Glenwood Springs City Council voted to increase on-demand Ride Glenwood fares from $1 to $3 per ride on October 15, 2026. The change is intended to boost revenue and prepare for potential funding reductions from the Roaring Fork Transit Authority. Rides starting and ending at the West Glenwood Park and Ride and the 27th Street Park and Ride will remain $1.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The fare increase is designed to generate additional revenue for the city and encourage riders to use the service as intended, which includes reducing non-essential trips. City staff hopes the new fare structure will demonstrate the service's ability to generate revenue without significant changes.
