LOVELAND, Colo. – May 26, 2026 – The City of Loveland Transit (COLT) schedule for Routes 1 (red line) and 2 (green line) will be reduced for the summer beginning June 1. Buses will run every hour instead of every 30 minutes. The Loveland Intercity Connector (LINC) commuter route will still connect to Routes 1 and 2, and buses will hold for transfers. The schedule reduction is due to a shortage of available drivers. The City is in the process of hiring and training new staff.

As a reminder, summer hours for the high-frequency Peak services by COLT start May 26, with buses running on an hourly schedule. The normal schedules for Peak as well as Routes 1 and 2 will resume before schools start in late summer.

About COLT

COLT currently provides a base network comprised of seven fixed bus routes. Service frequency ranges from 30 to 60 minutes including increased frequency during the morning that assists commuters and transit dependent students. COLT services 165 bus stops that place 86% of residences and 68% of businesses within a 1/4 mile of a bus stop. The service operates Monday through Friday from 6:38 a.m. to 7:55 p.m. and Saturday from 8:38 a.m. to 5:55 p.m. COLT directly operates fixed-route service and contracts for complementary paratransit service, called Dial-A-Ride (DAR), which operates Monday through Saturday during the same hours as the fixed-route service. COLT is now regionally connected with the City of Greeley and Town of Windsor’s GET transit route. For more information, visit lovgov.org/COLT.
