• RFTA's Hogback route could end Nov. 23 without GarCo funding (aspendailynews.com) — Bus service between Silt and the Roaring Fork Valley could end on November 23 if Garfield County stops funding RFTA’s Hogback route. County commissioners are weighing whether to keep paying for the service after a one-year cost‑sharing deal with Silt, Rifle, and RFTA expires, leaving a funding gap that could cut off Silt riders from regional transit.
