Late-Night Shuttle in Santa Fe?

I gotta say, Jon Bulthuis and Annette Granillo at the City's Transit Division are fantastic to work with. I just got out of a thorough meeting about Night Wave discussing some transportation ideas.  The two of them were supportive and collaborative, and it looks like we will be able to test out some late-night transportation options.

During his campaign, Mayor Gonzales spoke about the possibility of a late-night, weekend shuttle route that would travel from downtown to both SFUAD and St. Johns's, in hopes of encouraging more students to participate in downtown nightlife.

Night Wave is going to take The Mayor's idea, and test run it.  We will have two late-night routes.  The first route will be an "inner loop" and service Agua Fria, Osage, St. Mikes, Baca St. and Second St. neighborhoods.  The second route will be a Park n Ride for the southside of Santa Fe stationed at Santa Fe Place.  Southside residents can park at the mall, and pick up a shuttle to downtown.

The proposed shuttles will run from 9pm-2am, with the final shuttles leaving downtown after the bars close. Sponsoring this piece of the proposal will be The Jean Cocteau, who's owner George RR Martin has been  advocating for such a shuttle as well.  

With The Mayor's initiative, GRRM & Economic Development's support, and Transit Division's collaboration, it looks like this shuttle idea will come to fruition for our Night Wave weekend (July 31st, August 1st, August 2nd)!!  Now it is OUR JOB to use this FREE service!  Stay tuned for map and times.  <3
