Town officials held a workshop on March 11, reviewing the first year of service for Granby Connect, an on‑demand transit program.
The microtransit service recorded 5,166 rides and 7,556 passengers in 2025, with an average wait time of about 10 minutes, according to a memo from Cherry. Because the program launched partway through the year, Town Manager Ted Cherry said those numbers do not represent a full year at full service.
Currently, rides cost $2 per trip for groups of up to 12 people, with service running 9 a.m. to 9 p.m., seven days a week, according to Cherry.
Several potential adjustments are under consideration, Cherry said, including shrinking the service area to focus on locations within town limits as well as the Silver Sage neighborhood in Granby, the Innsbruck subdivision in Granby and the Granby–Grand County Airport.
Town officials are also exploring switching to a per-passenger fare instead of a per-ride rate, adjusting hours based on demand during weekdays versus weekends and possibly implementing different pricing zones depending on pickup location.
Metro district vacancy likely to be filled internally
Trustees also discussed a vacancy on the board of the Granby Ranch Metro District following a recent resignation.
The metro district announced the vacancy at its Feb. 26 meeting and is currently seeking interested candidates, town staff reported at the meeting.
Although the town has the authority to step in and fill the vacancy if the district does not act, staff recommended that the Granby Board of Trustees allow the metro district to appoint a replacement internally, in a manner consistent with similar situations in the past.
Town officials said they do not plan to take action on the vacancy at this time.
