New CTA van will be in operation soon

POMEROY–The Garfield County Transportation Authority (CTA) board discussed the arrival of a new van, insurance for the year of 2023, and elected chair and vice-chair positions at their meeting on January 17.

The 2023 Ford Transit van that has been on order has arrived. The title has caught up with the van, after being delayed at the time of last month’s meeting. Some detailing work is being completed, and then the van will be on Pomeroy’s streets.

Adam Hodges and Rochelle Williams of Obenland & Low discussed the CTA’s three insurance policies for 2023: Directors and Officers, Commercial General Liability, and Automotive. There will be no change to the Directors and Officers, as well as to the Commercial General Liability. The Automotive policy rates have decreased, but with the addition of the 2023 Ford the overall policy will rise about $1,000.

The CTA elected Commissioner Jim Nelson as chair and Commissioner Larry Ledgerwood as vice-chair.
