GRAND JUNCTION, Colo.—A nonprofit group associated with the Southern Ute Indian tribe is seeking grant funding to provide daily roundtrip bus service between Grand Junction and Durango.
The Daily Sentinel reports () that if the Colorado Department of Transportation approves the funding through its Intercity Bus Program, the service could be running by May.
Southern Ute Community Action Programs Inc. applied for the grant. It already runs a smaller-scale transit service in La Plata County.
The proposed service would run daily from Durango to Cortez, then Telluride, Ridgway, Montrose, Delta and Grand Junction. Peter Tregillus of Southern Ute Community Action Programs says the trip would take about five hours one-way and cost $30 to $40 for the entire route.
Greyhound no longer runs a route through the area.
