Taos Rolls Out New Express Shuttle Service
Between Santa Fe & Taos

Taos, NM - May 18, 2009 - The Town of Taos announced a new express nonstop shuttle service to link New Mexico Rail Runner travelers between Taos and Santa Fe. The new service - The Taos Express - will run weekends this summer beginning June 4th.

"The Rail Runner has been such a huge success, and we are looking for ways to expand that service into Taos," explained Taos Mayor Darren Cordova. "Having the train continue into Taos is likely years away. Instead of waiting, we created the Taos Express to bring people to and from Taos easily and affordably. Our intent is to continue and expand its service after this initial pilot program run."

The Taos Express schedules are designed to coordinate with the New Mexico Rail Runner, north and southbound trains, www.nmrailrunner.com. The shuttles, which are ADA compliant, will have bike racks and room for luggage for people who want to stay for the weekend in Taos. Special Taos Express weekend packages can be found at www.taosvacationguide.com.

"Over the last two years, New Mexicans have turned to public transit in greater numbers than ever," said Transportation Secretary Gary L. J. Girón. "With the addition of the Rail Runner, we have made it easier for people to connect throughout Central New Mexico and now north to Taos. This new shuttle connection is just another component of the Department's multimodal vision, and we welcome and encourage future connections throughout the state."

"We've been getting lots of inquiries from people who would like to see the Rail Runner go farther north, and that's a good indicator that more folks are discovering the convenience of what a system like this can bring to their area," says Lawrence Rael, Executive Director of the Mid-Region Council of Governments. "One of the benefits of the Rail Runner service to Santa Fe is our ability to connect to Northern New Mexico. This shuttle is one example of how we can provide connections to communities in the north that have lasting impacts."

The Taos Express will cost $10 round trip for adults; children 10 and under are free. Taos Express rider connections to the Taos Chile Line Transportation Service will be free, in addition to extended service to Taos Ski Valley. The Santa Fe station location is the New Mexico Rail Runner Railyard District Station on Guadalupe. The shuttle stop in Taos is in the Loretto Free Parking Lot just off the Taos Plaza/Camino de la Placita - just a short walk to the center of downtown historic Taos. Taos Express travelers that connect with the Rail Runner and then buses in Santa Fe or Albuquerque will spend less than $15 one way or $30 round trip for a day or weekend of fun.

The Summer Schedule will be:

Thursday and Friday evenings:
Northbound: Leave Santa Fe at 6:30 p.m. (connect with the 5:46 p.m. northbound NMRR train #516); arrive in Taos at 8 p.m.
Southbound: Leave Taos at 4:40 p.m.; arrive in Santa Fe at 6:10 p.m. (connect with the 6:18 p.m. southbound NMRR train #517)

Saturday morning service:
Northbound: Leave Santa Fe at 11:30 a.m. (connect with the 11:15 a.m. northbound NMRR train #502); arrive in Taos at 1:00 p.m.
Southbound: Leave Taos at 6:25 a.m. arrive in Santa Fe at 7:50 a.m. (meet the 8:10 a.m. southbound NMRR train #503)

Saturday evening service:
Northbound: Leave Santa Fe at 6:25 p.m. (connect with the 6:03 p.m. northbound NMRR train #508); arrive in Taos at 8:10 p.m.
Southbound: Leave Taos at 4:20 p.m.; arrive in Santa Fe at 5:45 p.m. (connect with the 6:20 p.m. southbound NMRR train #511)

"Our intent, even during these difficult economic times, is to launch this service and work out how best tosustain it after its June through September pilot phase," Mayor Cordova added. "The New Mexico Rail Runner service an exciting and successful addition for New Mexico - something we hope eventually comes further north. In the interim, we want everyone - locals and visitors alike -- to be able to access its service, and Taos, on weekends in a direct and relatively low cost manner.

"Whether you're out to save money, reduce stress, be more 'green', enjoy the views, or simply experience the new transit services- the Taos Express is the ride for you. I hope to see you in Taos this summer."

Title: US 84 from at mile marker 161 to 0.6 miles South of US 285 - NM 466 exit at mile marker 162
Description: City of Santa Fe - April 21st, the final phase of tunnel construction will start on the east side of St. Francis Drive with the switching over of traffic onto the newly constructed tunnel on the west side of the highway (weather permitting). The City of Santa Fe and the New Mexico Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the contractor David Montoya Construction and its traffic control subcontractor, Highway Supply, both of Albuquerque made the decision to use a weekend-switchover to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public. Come Monday morning, weather permitting, commuters should wake up to a revised traffic pattern north of Zia Road. Weekend travelers should note that southbound traffic needing to turn east onto Zia Road may be directed to find an alternate route during this switchover. Saturday shoppers needing access to businesses on Zia Road east of St. Francis Drive are advised in advance to find an alternate route during this traffic switchover. The detour is about 600 feet long between Zia and Siringo roads. Because of the high volume of traffic on St. Francis Drive, six lanes of traffic will be maintained throughout construction— three in each direction — but traffic will be shifted and each of the six lanes will be only 10 feet wide, which is 2-feet less than the standard 12 feet lane most motorists are used to. The detour will be in place throughout the rest of the construction period which is expected to last through the end of June. During this time, the speed limit will be reduced from 45 mph to 30 mph. The city suggests that large trucks and other motorists seek alternate routes when possible. Contact City of Santa Fe: Leroy Pacheco 955-6853

NMDOT District 4 bridge crews are working on correcting bridge deficiencies. Until all these bridges deficiencies are corrected these speed restrictions will remain in place. The listing of bridges with locations is as follows: Bridge No. 5299 at MP 7.17 on NM 419 Bridge No. 5968 at MP 8.36 on NM 419 Bridge No. 5966 at MP 10.48 on NM 419 Bridge No. 5965 at MP 13.06 on NM 419 Bridge No. 6257 at MP 17.52 on NM 419 Bridge No. 6453 at MP 27.48 on NM 419 Also, Bridge No. 6453 on NM 419 was closed on July 14, 2011 due to several cracked and busted girders at MP 17.04.

Title: US 84 from US 285 - NM 466 exit at mile marker 161 to 0.6 miles South of US 285 - NM 466 exit at mile marker 162
Description: City of Santa Fe - and the New Mexico Department of Transportation, in cooperation with the contractor David Montoya Construction and its traffic control subcontractor, Highway Supply, both of Albuquerque made the decision to use a weekend-switchover to minimize inconvenience to the traveling public. Come Monday morning, weather permitting, commuters should wake up to a revised traffic pattern north of Zia Road. Weekend travelers should note that southbound traffic needing to turn east onto Zia Road may be directed to find an alternate route during this switchover. Saturday shoppers needing access to businesses on Zia Road east of St. Francis Drive are advised in advance to find an alternate route during this traffic switchover. The detour is about 600 feet long between Zia and Siringo roads. St. Francis Drive, six lanes of traffic will be maintained throughout construction— three in each direction — but traffic will be shifted and each of the six lanes will be only 10 feet wide, which is 2-feet less than the standard 12 feet lane most motorists are used to. The detour will be in place throughout the rest of the construction period which is expected to last through the end of June. During this time, the speed limit will be reduced from 45 mph to 30 mph. The city suggests that large trucks and other motorists seek alternate routes when possible. Contact City of Santa Fe: Leroy Pacheco 955-6853

Taos Milagro Rotary Club Scholarship Fund

Jim Kimmons, Broker/Owner — Sat, 26 Jul 2008 17:49:11 +0000

Taos Milagro Rotary Club Scholarship Fund

The Taos Milagro Rotary Club as presents their Second Annual Scholarship Fundraiser, the Taos Chile Challenge. The Challenge, part of the annual Taos Fall Festivals, will be held on September 28, 2008 to fund the scholarships that the club awards qualified Taos County high school graduates. Included in the event will be a morning golf tournament, a chile “cook-off”, featuring local professionals and amateurs and a “battle of the micro-breweries.”

On October 6, 2007 the club held its inaugural Taos Chile Challenge at the Taos Country Club. They raised enough money to continue funding the four-year fine arts scholarship, in addition to approximately $6,000 for 2008 scholarships. In May 2007 they awarded eight $500 scholarships and one $1,000 scholarship per year for four years to a student studying fine arts as a memorial to local artist Gary Williams, a fellow Rotarian. Their goal now is to establish a well-attended, annual regional event and to significantly increase their scholarship fund.

Memorial Weekend Transportation and Landfill Information – Town of Taos

Jim Kimmons, Broker/Owner — Tue, 20 May 2008 23:42:41 +0000

Taos Landfill and Regular Chile Line Routes: Monday, May 26, the official holiday for Memorial Day, the Taos Landfill will not be open to the public (although crews work there managing our trash and pick up will still occur), and regular Chile Line Transportation routes will not be operating.

However, there will be a special loop route for the Chile Line all weekend in the Town of Taos downtown area --

Memorial Weekend Special Chile Line Transportation

In an effort to better circulate visitors and local shoppers around the Town of Taos historic district, the Town of Taos Chile Line Division, Public Works, is running a special ‘circular route’ all three days of this coming Memorial Day Weekend, May 24-26, 2008, from 11:20 a.m. to 2:50 p.m. (see schedule below). Attached are two versions of the map for the special route.

Please assist in promoting this special service to members of the public who may use it so support for future special routes will continue to grow. Print and hand out this information this coming weekend to visitors to the historic district.

This activity is not only supported as part of the Town’s efforts to be more customer service/visitor friendly, but to also assist with circulation/parking issues restricted by current Town-wide construction projects. It is also part of an effort to assist with visitor/local shopper circulation between Town of Taos historic district merchants and Arts & Crafts Fairs in Kit Carson Park. A fair is scheduled this Memorial Day Weekend by Blue Sky Productions.

Do you have pets? If so, you likely receive great comfort and love from them. We pamper our pets because they pamper us. What about those who do not have a pet, and could use the companionship of a friendly animal on occasion?

Goldstar Animals Helping People is a non-profit corporation dedicated to improving people's lives through a therapeutic program which includes services and activities promoting human/animal interaction.

Animals are taken into nursing homes, schools, libraries, hospitals, hospices and other facilities where people can spend time with them. When you think of the joy we get from our pets, you may want to visit their website and find a way to help and support Goldstar Animals Helping People.
