TRANSPORTATION APP: Village Connect

Village Transportation has been working on significant upgrades to the transportation services provided to the Beaver Creek Ski Resort communities. Not only are they rebuilding the on-demand transportation, formerly “Dial-A-Ride,” services under the new name “Village Connect,” there have also been efforts to elevate the guest experience by providing real-time information on the status of the requested ride via a new mobile device app also named Village Connect.

Additionally, download the app to receive up to date information on timing for all Beaver Creek bus routes, including the shuttle to the race venue, listed under the Express tab in the App.
