The Carson Valley Airporter, a new bus service between Douglas County and Reno, starts up their four round trips daily on Monday, November 17.

Nevada Department of Transportation (NDOT) awarded Amador Stage Lines more than $365,000 in federal funds to start the service. The bus line has supplied $143,000 in matching funds according to Michelle Gardner, NDOT transit manager.
