Free fare policy for GCTA allows for State incentive to be accessed

POMEROY–The Garfield County Transportation Authority (GCTA) discussed a state-incentivized policy at their meeting on April 18. The policy allows clients 18 years of age or younger to ride free of charge.

The GCTA already operates on donation, meaning that they do not charge fare, but they can still take part in the incentive by creating the policy. For 2022, the incentive is $9,456, and for a biennial period of 2023-2025 the incentive would be $25,501.

An order for a Subaru that was funded by grant has been canceled. There is no plan at present for finding a new vehicle.
