RFTA Zero Fare October & November 2025

Ride Free with RFTA this Fall!

Find a convenient, more sustainable way to explore this fall. Whether you’re a frequent rider, new to public transportation, or somewhere in between, thanks to our partners, it’s never been easier to ride with RFTA. 

All RFTA regional routes, including the Roaring Fork Valley Local, Hogback, and VelociRFTA BRT (excluding Maroon Bells*) are included in Zero Fare October & November. No need to purchase tickets ahead of time. Simply get on the bus at a designated stop and ride to your destination.  

*Maroon Bells shuttles are not included as part of the Zero Fare October & November program and require reservations in advance. 

Zero Fare October & November is an opportunity to both make transit more accessible and advance RFTA’s sustainability goals. During the pilot period, RFTA will collect and analyze data on ridership trends, park and ride usage, operational impacts, and customer feedback to guide future fare and service decisions.

On December 1, RFTA will reinstate its regular fare system. Riders will need to pay the standard fare or use a valid RFTA pass/mobile ticket to board. Customers can purchase tickets or passes through the RFTA Tickets App, at ticket vending machines, or from authorized pass outlets. For any questions about fares or pass options, riders should contact RFTA Customer Service or visit www.rfta.com/fares for more information.
