Senior Citizens Advisory Board Meeting May 6, 2026

The City of Longmont Colorado Senior Citizens Advisory Board met on May 6, 2026, primarily discussing the Ride Longmont microtransit service, a transportation program operated by Via Transportation. The presentation highlighted increased ridership, service demand, and funding challenges, noting that the service operates at capacity and budget constraints limit expansion. The board reviewed funding sources including RTD partnership grants and federal congressional designated spending, totaling over $3 million for 2024-2027, with additional grant applications submitted for 2027-2029 to expand service hours and fleet size. Outreach efforts and demographic usage data were also discussed to improve service awareness and accessibility. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during the meeting, but funding and budget allocations for the transit service were key topics. Other agenda items included updates on senior center surveys, employment initiatives for seniors, and community engagement activities, with no direct procurement actions taken.
