Gallop Transit awarded $1.17 million to improve bus service
The transit provider plans to use the grant for bus service improvements starting in summer 2027, with no matching funds required from the city. It was its first year applying for the program.
Gallop Transit, formerly Greeley-Evans Transit, has been awarded $1.17 million from the Colorado Department of Transportation's Clean Transit Enterprise and plans to use it to improve bus service starting in summer 2027.
The City does not need to pay matching funds. The money is for the Local Transit Operations Program, commonly known as the SB230 Formula Program.
The Director of the Clean Transit Enterprise announced the award Oct. 28. This was Gallop's first year applying for the funds.
"These funds will help us improve bus service starting in summer 2027," said Sage Thornbrugh, transportation planner with the City of Greeley. "We look forward to sharing more as plans take shape."
Colorado Senate Bill 24-230 also created a separate fee to protect wildlife and restore land.
