Roaring Fork Transportation Authority

The Roaring Fork Transportation Authority (RFTA) connects communities across Colorado’s Roaring Fork Valley and beyond. Since 1983, service has grown from the Aspen area to throughout the valley, including Snowmass Village, Basalt, Carbondale, Glenwood Springs, New Castle, and Rifle. RFTA provides commuter, local, and seasonal transit services, including the VelociRFTA Bus Rapid Transit system and service to the Maroon Bells and all four Aspen Snowmass ski areas.

RFTA also owns and manages much of the Rio Grande Corridor, including the Rio Grande Trail, a scenic multi-use pathway supporting biking, walking, and future transit connectivity. As the largest rural transit agency in the U.S., RFTA is committed to innovation, sustainability, and keeping the region connected through transit and trails.
