Beginning August 2, 2021, Via Mobility Services, a non-profit transportation provider based in Boulder, will launch a pilot program serving people and communities in rural portions of southwestern Weld County and southeastern Larimer County as detailed in the project area map below. Partners are currently seeking feedback to assess the transportation need of potential riders in the region. The results of this survey will guide the final decision on the specific service offerings for this pilot. All survey responses should be provided prior to Sunday, August 1, 2021.
This pilot service will be available to those residing in or near the municipalities of Mead, Johnstown, Milliken, Gilcrest, Platteville, Fort Lupton, Lochbuie, and portions of the Berthoud area. Via will transport individuals to destinations within the defined service area as well as surrounding locations such as Brighton, Boulder County, and potentially Greeley and Loveland. The pilot will be free and open to the general public, including individuals utilizing a mobility device, through the end of 2021. Operating hours will be Monday-Friday, 8:00 am to 3:30 pm. Once the pilot period is concluded, Via and partner organizations will assess the level of demand and funding necessary to continue the service. NFRMPO and Via will provide additional information about the service, including how to book a ride, in July with a follow up announcement.
