As a regular rider of Rogue Valley Transportation District’s Route 10 that travels between Ashland and Medford, I look forward to a resumption of Route 10 frequency to every 20 minutes.

If you haven’t yet tried public transit in Jackson County, Oregon, the Saturday-service “grand opening” celebration on Saturday, July 9, offers a perfect opportunity. July 9 is the first day that Saturday routes resume following successful passage in the May 17 election of a levy supporting the Rogue Valley Transportation District. In celebration, RVTD will offer free bus service all day on July 9, and a party takes place from 10 a.m. to noon at RVTD’s Front Street Station in Medford. Live music, games and activities, food, community booths and more are part of the planned celebration.

So I read with interest as the Calistoga Chamber of Commerce established its Employee Shuttle Program for Santa Rosa residents aboard Beau Wine Tours’ luxury coaches.
