Update: Peace House is pleased that public transit funding passed in the May 2016 election. We continue to message to Southern Oregon about the needs of our citizens have and work for fair legislation to meet them.
Rogue Valley Transit Now
By Elizabeth Hallett
RVTN is a committee of concerned local citizens volunteering to help RVTD secure funding and support for public transit in the Rogue Valley. RVTN believes that affordable, reliable transit is essential to protect our quality of life and community standards for livability. Goals of the committee are to educate voters, communicate the issues, and pass the RVTD Local Tax Option.
In 2015, RVTD was forced to cut Saturday and evening services due to inadequate funding. RVTD also reduced frequency to its most heavily utilized Route 10, resulting in job elimination, overcrowding of passengers, and service reduction to Medford, Phoenix, Talent and Ashland.
