The Roaring Fork Transit Association (RFTA) isn't just a bus system; it’s a lifestyle hack for valley residents.
If you live and work inside Glenwood Springs, the bus is actually free and runs about every 20 minutes. It’s clean, reliable, and perfect for when your car is in the shop or you want to avoid parking headaches.
Pro Tip for Skiers: On heavy traffic days, the RFTA bus to Aspen can actually be faster than your car. Once the bus hits the Aspen airport, it has a dedicated lane that lets it zoom past the line of cars stuck in traffic. It’s also the perfect way to send your teenagers up to Snowmass safely without having to play chauffeur!
