The Colorado Department of Transportation Bustang operation is shifting its loading and drop-off location in Grand Junction.
The new Bustang location will be next to the Grand Valley Transit Downtown Transfer Facility, along South Avenue, between South Fifth and South Sixth streets.
Buses will begin loading and dropping off at the new location will begin Monday. The old Bustang location is at the Greyhound station at Fifth Street and Ute Avenue.
The Greyhound bus loading and drop-off location is also moving from its current location to just east of the Bustang stops along South Avenue near the downtown Grand Valley Transit Downtown Transfer Facility. The new stop will also be in effect Monday.
Unhappy with their treatment through the COVID-19 pandemic, Amalgamated Transit Union Local 1776 members voted no confidence Sunday in Grand Valley Transit General Manager Valdo Lewis.
Local 1776 President Judi DeRusha reports that 94% of local chapter members voted no confidence in Lewis to perform his duties. This comes after a comment he made as the union negotiates for higher pay and safer working conditions for its drivers.
Negotiations will continue this week with TrasnDev, GVTâs contractor.
âOur members have been heroes on the frontlines, providing essential transportation to keep our community moving,â DeRusha said in a press release.
She represents the GVT drivers employed by TransDev.
