Comment Period Underway
October 14, 2021 -- The North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) 255 Mountain Trail “Blue Bus” is a favorite way for locals and visitors alike to access Ten Thousand Waves, fall colors, the Winsor Trail, Ski Santa Fe, and the Santa Fe National Forest. Previously $5 each way, the fare was waived at the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Now the NCRTD board is poised to vote to eliminate the fare permanently.

- The NCRTD Board will meet virtually at 9 a.m. on November 5, 2021, to vote on this issue, among others.
