NCRTD to Resume Limited Service November 30

By NCRTD 

North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) RTD Blue Bus routes will resume on Monday, November 30 by providing essential service on a limited basis.

 

All routes will operate on either a demand request or reservation basis with the exception of the 290 Edgewood route and the 170 Jicarilla route, though 170 will continue to serve paratransit customers in the Chama/Dulce area. Additionally, the 190 Chama routewill provide demand service within Chama and Tierra Amarilla providing essential local trips within those communities.

 

Demand service allows riders to call and schedule a trip being picked up and dropped-off at established RTD bus stops. Riders are asked to limit trips to only those that are essential. Face coverings are required to ride and must remain on for the duration of the trip. Seating on vehicles are limited due to social distancing and groups of five or less.

 

For the latest information on routes and to schedule service riders are asked to call 505-629-4725 ext. 2, or toll-free 866-206-0754 ext. 2.
