Public transportation can be an important factor in economic development. All Points Transit has heard from multiple new residents who moved to Montrose partially because of the transportation options here. Transportation can also level the playing field for low income individuals or anyone who does not own a vehicle. Transit systems allow them to more easily find employment, get to work and, in some cases, go from being welfare recipients to wage earners. Getting out on the bus is also a great way to meet new people in your community and make new friends.
