Mayor's Table: Red Apple Transit | Episode 156
On this episode of The Mayor’s Table, Farmington Mayor Nate Duckett is joined by Alan Black, Transit Administrator for Red Apple Transit, for an in-depth conversation about public transportation in Farmington and across the Four Corners region. Together, they break down how Red Apple Transit operates, why public transit matters in a regional hub like Farmington, and how fixed routes, regional routes, Dial-A-Ride services, and partnerships with Greyhound and Navajo Transit help connect residents to jobs, healthcare, education, and essential services.
Mayor Duckett and Black also address common questions and misconceptions about public transportation, including safety, funding, route planning, fares, and ridership growth. The discussion highlights the economic and quality-of-life benefits of a robust transit system, recent ridership increases, and future innovations such as micro transit and real-time safety technology. This episode offers a clear look at how thoughtful planning, regional collaboration, and responsible use of federal and local funding are helping keep Farmington connected, accessible, and moving forward.
