Continuing a commitment to provide valuable transit service to individuals with disabilities or those aged 60 or older, the Weld County Board of Commissioners extended the county’s professional services agreement with Via Mobility Transit Services. The agreement, which runs through Dec. 31, 2026, will allow the service to continue serving those in unincorporated Weld County as well as in 10 municipalities.

“This is a great program that can help our residents maintain their independence, and it’s something we’re happy to see continue,” said Scott James, Weld County Commissioner Chair.

Via Mobility Services is a nonprofit transportation provider that specializes in accessible transit for older adults and individuals with disabilities. Riders can schedule trips up to seven days in advance, allowing them to travel to destinations throughout Northern Colorado and even into Cheyenne, Wyoming.

Through the program, eligible residents can receive free, shared-ride transportation for everyday needs such as medical appointments, grocery shopping, visiting family and friends, or other essential trips. Vehicles are accessible and designed to assist riders with mobility limitations, helping ensure residents remain connected to their communities.

Since the program began, more than 7,062 rides have been provided to Weld County residents, with 223 individuals registered to use the service. Weld County contributes roughly $46,000 annually toward the program, with additional funding coming from participating municipalities, the state’s Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Options Fund, and federal Section 5311 rural transit funding.

Via Mobility Services partners with Weld County and local communities to provide the service across several municipalities including Ault, Fort Lupton, Gilcrest, Hudson, Johnstown, Keenesburg, Kersey, Milliken, Nunn, Platteville, and surrounding unincorporated areas. Riders must meet eligibility requirements and schedule trips in advance through Via’s reservation system.
