In brief: RFTA ticket machines cash-only, Kindergarten open house at ACD
RFTA ticket machines cash-only in January
Due to an unexpected change in Roaring Fork Transportation Authority’s credit card processing vendor, RFTA ticket vending machines throughout the valley will not be accepting credit card payments in January.
RFTA announced last week it is working to finalize and secure operations with a new credit card-processing vendor. The new system should be operational by the end of the month, RFTA said.
All ticket vending machines will continue to accept cash to purchase stored value cards and 30-day zone passes. Riders can purchase stored value cards at authorized RFTA sales outlets throughout its service area or download the RFTA mobile tickets app.
Kindergarten open house at ACD

AHS boys basketball beats Summit in final home game, continues to defy own youth
Of the 10 players listed on the varsity roster ahead of Tuesday’s home game with Summit, two were juniors, seven were sophomores and one was a freshman. It’s a far cry from the class of 10 seniors who last season led the Skiers to a perfect 27-0 mark and the Class 3A state championship.
