Commuting Solutions Unveils Brands for CO 119 Bus Rapid Transit and Corridor Bikeway

Boulder County, Colo. - Commuting Solutions, in collaboration with Boulder County, the City of Boulder, the City of Longmont, RTD, and CDOT, has announced the completion of the CO 119 Branding and Wayfinding Project as part of the CO 119 Safety, Mobility, and Bikeway Project. Significant improvements are currently being constructed for the Diagonal Highway, the corridor connecting Boulder and Longmont.

The CO 119 project will provide a safer, more efficient transportation experience along the Diagonal Highway with improved intersection safety, a separated 9-mile-long bikeway with branded wayfinding signs, and an efficient Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) service.

“Our goal with the new branding and wayfinding system is to create a cohesive and user- friendly experience for all travelers along CO 119,” said Audrey DeBarros, Executive Director of Commuting Solutions. “This branding will not only establish a recognizable identity but will also foster ease of use and enhance safety as travelers explore moving between modes of transportation.”

The design reflects the natural beauty of the Front Range while drawing inspiration from the successful Flatiron Flyer brand. The bold blue and gold colors will be prominently featured, ensuring continuity across the region. As a part of the process, the name of the CO 119 bikeway was determined to be the Diagonal Bikeway, and the RTD Bus Rapid Transit service will be branded the Diagonal Flyer.

Community engagement has been vital in shaping this project. Feedback was gathered through bilingual online surveys and in-person pop-up events, with local residents emphasizing their desire for a modern, simple design that reflects the area's distinct identity.

You can look forward to seeing the new brand integrated into wayfinding signs, innovative BRT station architecture, and various elements along the CO 119 corridor. This project promises an exciting commuting experience that combines functionality with a true sense of place.

Construction is set to be completed in 2027, laying the groundwork for improved transportation options and future connections in the northwest metro area.
