Bus Travel

Look for a bus stop. Be sure the bus driver can see you at your stop. Have exact change or pre-purchased ticket ready. Neither the fare box nor the driver can make change. To exit the bus, press the STOP button to signal the driver to stop at the next bus stop.

In recognition of the fact that while our system is ADA compliant, there are some riders that have unique circumstances that may prevent them from being able to use the regular system. As such, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990 requires public transit agencies who operate “fixed route” systems (such as Fountain Municipal Transit) to also provide complementary paratransit service to qualifying persons with disabilities.

Qualified riders needing Paratransit Service must call Fountain Valley Senior Center at 719-600-2643. Please note that the City of Fountain contracts with Fountain Valley Senior Center to provide Paratransit service for qualifying individuals that are unable to use Fountain Municipal Transit due to their disability.
