THE NCRTD TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING TO DISCUSS MODIFICATIONS TO ELDORADO, EDGEWOOD AND TURQUOISE TRAIL ROUTES
The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) will hold a Public Meeting on Wednesday, December 16, at the Santa Fe County Offices, Legal Conference Room, 102 Grant Ave. in Santa Fe at 3:00 PM to discuss planned modifications to the Eldorado, Edgewood and Turquoise Trail routes.
In March 2015, the NCRTD began providing a “midday” transit option between Santa Fe, and Eldorado and Edgewood Monday through Friday on a six-month trial basis. Due to low ridership, the NCRTD proposes to eliminate the midday round trip between Santa Fe and Eldorado and Edgewood. Both the 280 Eldorado and 290 Edgewood routes will continue to provide service during the peak times to commuters.
Also in March 2015, an extension to the 270 Turquoise Trail route was implemented to provide service to Golden on Wednesdays only. Due to low ridership, the NCRTD proposes to eliminate the Wednesday extension to Golden. The 270 Turquoise Trail route will continue to provide service to Madrid, Cerrillos, and the Highway 14 corridor.
The NCRTD is seeking public input and feedback related to the proposed changes to the midday transit service between Eldorado, Edgewood and Santa Fe, as well as the once-weekly transit service operated between Santa Fe and Golden. Please provide feedback via the website at ncrtd.orgor by attending the public input meeting to be held at Santa Fe County Offices on December 16
