    We have some fantastic news for the Fort Collins community! Transfort is committed to providing exceptional service for an exceptional community and now, riding with us is easier and more accessible than ever. 

    City Manager Kelly DiMartino has granted final approval for Transfort to remain fare-free! After more than four years of providing free rides, this decision underscores our commitment to ensuring that public transit is accessible and equitable for all residents. The fare-free initiative, originally introduced during the COVID-19 pandemic, has proven to be a game-changer for enhancing mobility within our community. 

    Our recent 2023 Transit Funding Study played a pivotal role in supporting this decision by assessing the costs associated with the full implementation of the Transit Master Plan and analyzing the implications of a fare-free system. Community input from local businesses, Colorado State University, and various social service agencies highlighted the substantial benefits of continuing this model – both environmentally and economically.
