The Crested Butte and Mt. Crested Butte town councils have agreed to provide additional funding for the Mountain Express in 2026, including the summer FirstTracks service.
According to Mountains Express managing director Jeremy Herzog, the summer FirstTracks service requires $103,000 to operate, providing free on-demand transportation in north Mt. Crested Butte as far south as the ski base area.
Jeremy Herzog asked if either council was willing to help fund potential 2026 budget shortfalls.
