NEW AND IMPROVED’ VILLAGE SHUTTLE WEBSITE DEBUTS

A “new and improved” version of the Village Shuttle website launched March 25 with a mobile-friendly layout and new tools for riders at snowmasstransit.com, according to a town news flash.




On the home page, a “Plan My Trip” tool new allows riders to find the next available bus at the stop closest to them or plan ahead and find the best route for their ideal arrival time, whether that time is a few hours or several weeks in the future. The planner includes both Village Shuttle and Roaring Fork Transportation Authority routes.

The new site also includes an expanded collection of resources for riders, including information on accessibility, parking and maps as well as details about popular local destinations.

“Using the Village Shuttle isn’t just a mode of transportation,” Transportation Director David Peckler said in a prepared statement. “It is part of the Snowmass Village experience.”

Users can submit feedback and comments to the town by emailing Assistant Town Manager Travis Elliott at telliott@tosv.com. The town will make edits during the offseason before the website goes into summer mode.
