Longmont residents upset about pending bus service cuts

20111012_RTD_3.JPG "Plan smarter, quit cutting harder," is Jennifer Williamson's message to RTD as they hold a public hearing Wednesday, Oct. 12, 2011, at the Longmont Senior Center on proposed January service cuts to some of the local RTD routes within Longmont and to some of the BOLT route trips between Longmont and Boulder. Williamson, who lives in east Longmont and uses RTD to commute to Boulder daily for work, says what RTD expects of Call-n-Ride drivers is not fair and underserves the rider. Because of the lack of east side routes, she says, most Call-n-Ride busses are full and busy taking kids to and from school.

LONGMONT — About 60 clearly unhappy bus users packed into a Senior Center meeting room Wednesday evening to complain about the latest service cuts and route changes the Regional Transportation District is proposing for routes inside Longmont as well as several routes carrying passengers to and from Boulder and Denver.

“I use the RTD to get to work every day,” said Melissa Ferguson. “How am going to get home if I can’t catch the bus? I depend on it. I’ve got no way to get around anywhere without the RTD.”

Ferguson was one of more than 30 people who spoke at the RTD’s Longmont hearing on about $12 million in systemwide service reductions transit agency officials have said are needed to help balance the RTD’s 2012 operating budget.
