At the Sept. 24 public hearing, Mesa County Commissioners unanimously approved an approximately $14 million contract and lease agreement with MV Transportation, Inc. to take over Grand Valley Transit operations beginning Jan. 1, 2025. 

The contract will last for three years, with the possibility of being extended for an additional four years if needed.
