Grand Valley Transit is weighing cuts to its first hour of service
The Good Day Grand Junction team
Early birds, this one's for you. Grand Valley Transit is asking for public input on two ways to reduce service hours because of budget constraints next year. Both would shorten service hours starting in January.
Both options cut the first hour of service
| Option | Days affected | Weekends |
|---|---|---|
| Option 1 | Weekdays only | Unchanged |
| Option 2 | Every service day | Also cut |

Transit planner Andrew Gingerich said the first hour is a "lower ridership per hour part of our service day." Kool 107.9 reports that neither option has been approved and that new departure times haven't been set.
