Greenlight takes over last-mile deliveries in Buena Vista after Matador Transit closure
What happened
Following the closure of Matador Transit Inc. on October 5, 2026, FedEx transitioned its operations to Denver Greenlight Inc. Greenlight, which has served as a contractor for over a decade, is now providing temporary resources for last-mile deliveries and emergency situations in Buena Vista. Greenlight has begun contacting and hiring some of the laid-off Matador delivery drivers and plans to take over the routes permanently, although the current agreement is month-to-month.
Why it matters
