Transit managers from Loveland and Fort Collins are planning to ask their respective city councils to investigate creating a regional transit provider, saying they believe they could save money and provide better service by combining forces, according to a story in the Fort Collins Coloradoan.

“All we’re looking at in the plan is investigating the feasibility,” Transfort Assistant General Manager Kurt Ravenschlag said.

Ravenschlag said Transfort saw 15 percent ridership growth in 2008, and COLT manager Marcy Abreo said the Loveland agency is seeing similar increases. Transfort carried 1.8 million passengers last year; COLT carried 125,000.
