Through November, travelers can enjoy free trips throughout the region thanks to the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority’s (RFTA) new Zero Fare pilot program. The pilot program does not include Maroon Bells shuttles, which require advance reservations, according to RFTA . Although ridership may increase throughout the pilot program, RFTA doesn’t anticipate service disruptions. Funding for the Zero Fare October and November pilot program is provided through several of RFTA’s associate organizations, including the City of Glenwood Springs, the City of Aspen and the Elected Officials Transportation Committee. RFTA’s regular ticket system will be reinstated after the Zero Fare program ends.
