RED RIVER — The Town of Red River officially unveiled three newly purchased public transit buses last week in a ceremony attended by town officials, community members, and local stakeholders. The new vehicles will replace the town’s existing fleet of three buses, ensuring continued and improved on-demand transit service for residents and visitors.

Red River’s transit service operates on an on-demand model, allowing riders to request transportation as needed rather than following fixed schedules. The no-cost ride can be requested by calling the transit dispatch at 575.770.5959 7 days a week between 7:30 a.m. and 5 p.m. The upgraded fleet will enhance the reliability and comfort of this service, making it easier than ever for community members and guests to get where they need to go.

“This is a proud day for Red River,” said Mayor Linda Calhoun, Town of Red River. “These new buses are more than vehicles — they represent our commitment to building a more connected, accessible, and sustainable community for everyone who lives, works, and visits here. We’re excited to bring this upgraded service to our residents and guests.”

The procurement process followed a thorough review of the town’s transit needs. Town officials determined that replacing the aging fleet was the best path to maintaining a safe, dependable, and modern on-demand service for the community. 

Each of the new buses features modern amenities including climate control, ADA-compliant accessibility features, and enhanced fuel efficiency. The vehicles also debut a fresh new exterior design, giving the fleet a distinct updated look compared to their predecessors.
