    About the Region - Eagle County


    Eagle County, located just 2 hours from Denver, is a small community with around 50,000 residents, nestled amidst the stunning landscapes of Colorado's Rocky Mountains.

    This dynamic area not only caters to its hardworking local population but also attracts a steady flow of tourists seeking access to its renowned mountain resorts (Vail and Beaver Creek).

    The county's mountainous terrain and high altitude present both opportunities and challenges for providing efficient transit solutions.

    Existing transit systems intricately connect key areas such as Vail, Avon, Minturn, and Eagle, serving the local workforce and visitors from around the world.

    The county's highway network (I-70) acts as a crucial lifeline, providing vital connectivity to remote areas while necessitating specialized transportation infrastructure tailored to the demands of a rural environment and a community that prioritizes reducing its environmental impacts.

    As a result, a transit organization within this setting plays a pivotal role in enhancing accessibility, driving workforce needs, and meeting the diverse mobility needs of the vibrant population thriving in this rugged and picturesque locale.

    Salary Range for this position is

    $124,000 - $179,800

    . As we cultivate our newly formed organization, we recognize the pivotal role of compensation and benefit packages in attracting and retaining top talent. During the initial stages, our leadership team will receive stipends for health insurance, in addition to salary, as we lay the foundation for a robust benefits program. We are committed to implementing full benefits for all employees by this summer, ensuring that each team member feels valued and supported.


    In March 2024, our board approved a forward-thinking compensation philosophy aimed at positioning EVTA as an employer of choice, emphasizing competitive benefits and opportunities for all employees.

    As a testament to this commitment, they have authorized a robust retirement plan with a remarkable up to 10% match for all employees, showcasing our dedication to attracting and retaining top talent.
