Grand Valley Transit DASH Service Eliminated

The Grand Valley Regional Transportation Committee (GVRTC) met on January 23 for their monthly meeting; during the meeting the board signed a resolution to eliminate the DASH service. The GVRTC board made this decision after the local funding partners decided to stop funding the service in 2022. The DASH is a fare-free service currently operating on Route 1 from 4:15 PM to 11:05 PM on Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. The elimination of the DASH Service will result in Route 1 returning to normal service hours (ending at 8:05 PM on weekdays and ending at 6:05 PM on Saturdays). With the return to regular Route 1 service, full fares are required to ride. These service changes will go into effect beginning February 1, 2023.

The elimination of the DASH includes the elimination of DASH-related complementary paratransit service based on 3/4 mile distance from Route 1. Paratransit service will still be available during normal service hours and with full fares.
