Grand Valley Transit will offer free trips on all fixed-routes and paratransit during the month of August this year.

GVT is designed to increase mobility options for residents in the Grand Valley. With free service in August, transit riders can experience cost savings, stress reduction, a safer ride and increased productivity, all while helping reduce congestion and improving Colorado’s air quality.

In recent years this fare-free campaign has been a part of a state-funded initiative, but funding for the program was not renewed for 2026 because of statewide budget cuts. Since the zero-fare program began in 2022, GVT and many other transit agencies around the state found the fare-free months to be broadly popular. GVT will continue to offer free fare this summer, but unlike the three-month promotional period in 2025, it will only be for the month of August.

Grand Valley Transit welcomes individuals who may have never used its transit services, inviting them to try riding the bus while it’s fare free this August. And as always, GVT welcomes seasoned transit riders to take advantage of this opportunity.
