Share the canonical public link.
Fountain City Council approved $5,000 on April 14, 2026, to sustain the zero-fare summer bus rides program despite losing external funding. The initiative provides free transportation from June 1 to August 31, 2026, serving residents in the Colorado Springs area with routes covering key community locations. This funding bridges the gap from prior state grants that supported the program in 2025, maintaining accessibility for low-income riders. The decision ensures continuity for the annual program, which transported over 2,500 passengers in summer 2025 according to city records.
