The following letter was emailed to members of Aspen City Council, Snowmass Town Council and Pitkin Board of County Commissioners who also sit on the Elected Officials Transportation Committee (EOTC).<\/p>\n

Roaring Fork Transportation Authority is doing an excellent job with social distancing, allowing only a maximum number of nine passengers per bus with each person required to wear a protective face covering or mask.<\/p>\n

As Gov. Polis has stated, Colorado is going to have a new normal with social distancing possible for many months, perhaps years, to come.<\/p>\n

When workers and guests start to return to Snowmass and Aspen \u2014 and only nine passengers are allowed per bus on a bus that normally carries 40 seated passengers and about 20 standing passengers \u2014 perhaps it\u2019s time to re-think transportation.<\/p>\n
