The Glenwood Springs Post Independent reports that ridership on the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority’s buses fell nearly 12 percent in recession-racked 2009.

According to a preliminary report released Monday, RFTA had 4.29 million riders last year compared to 4.85 million in 2008. The decline was steep because 2008 was a record year for RFTA and ridership in 2009 was probably affected by several factors related to the recession, RFTA Chief Executive Officer Dan Blankenship said.
