FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Transfort's newly optimized bus network takes effect Monday, Aug. 17, bringing more frequent service on key routes, a simplified grid design and updated Dial-A-Ride paratransit service. All routes, including MAX, FLEX, HORN, GOLD and the Foothills Shuttle, will remain fare-free.

The changes are the result of the Transfort Optimization Plan, finalized earlier this year after extensive public engagement and data analysis. The redesigned network strengthens high-demand corridors and improves connections across the city while operating within Transfort's existing resources.

"We're ready to bring this new network to the community," Director of Transfort Kaley Zieeisel said. "These changes mean more frequent, reliable service on the routes people use most, and a system that's easier to understand for both new and current riders."

What's Changing Aug. 17

More frequent service:

• Routes 3, 8, 31, HORN, MAX and the Foothills Shuttle: Every 20 minutes or better
• Routes 2, 5, 9, 14, 19 and 81: Every 30 minutes
• Routes 6, 7, 16 and 18: Every hour
