Recitals
Pitkin County is a member of the Roaring Fork Transportation Authority ("RFTA"),
whose mission is to serve residents and visitors of the Roaring Fork and Colorado
River valleys with environmentally friendly, convenient, safe, efficient and
economical transportation.
RFTA recently adopted a policy, in Resolution 2002-27, regarding a phased
conversion of its fleet to a greener, less petroleum-dependent transit fleet.
Pitkin County's mission includes an appreciation of the environment and optimizing
the quality of life for our citizens and visitors.
RFTA's Policy supporting a phased approach to converting its fleet to alternative
propulsion systems is consistent with Pitkin County's mission statement, because it
balances the need to continue providing transit service to the Roaring Fork and
Colorado River Valleys, while also providing for an eventual conversion of its fleet to
the use of sustainable and renewal forms of energy.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONERS OF PITKIN COUNTY, COLORADO, that it fully supports RFTA's policy
regarding conversion to a greener, less petroleum-dependent transit fleet.
