All Points Transit's Montrose-Ouray shuttle is set to begin in early February after a six-month delay. The received Ford Transit 350HD will accommodate 11 passengers, offer wheelchair access, and feature bike racks, according to the Ouray Plaindealer.

Unify Montrose initiated a community-driven project earlier this year to tackle Montrose's childcare crisis. Over 60 randomly selected delegates aimed to find solutions for the city's childcare shortage, an issue affecting over 2,600 children. However, challenges arose, such as high dropout rates among assembly members and unclear communication about their roles.
Some delegates expected to generate ideas rather than review existing plans. Around 20 delegates have left the process, although their reasons don't attribute any fault to Unify Montrose. Today, KVNF's Cassie Knust follows up on last week’s interview with Laura Baker, a delegate from the nonprofit, and hears from the nonprofit’s manager of community engagement, Alex Gibson.
KVNF has previously spoken with Gibson about the project. Today, Gibson addresses some misconceptions about the nonprofit and Unify’s recent hiccup in communication.
