MAC Update

Mobility for All teamed up with Cass Reid from MTM, RTD's Travel Training Contractor, for an overview of the services they provide to help people use RTD Fixed Route and Access-a-Ride services and how to make riding the bus less intimidating.

Travel training isn’t just about getting from point A to B—it’s about building confidence, inclusion, and a stronger connection to the community. For June's MAC meeting, over 20 programs and organizations servicing older adults, individuals with disabilities, and youth in Boulder County attended a training session on how to talk with the people they service about using public transit.

Formal Travel Training Programs in Boulder County:

Exciting Photos of Bikeway under construction

The bikeway underpass at CO 119 and CO 52 was constructed without needing any road closures because it was built to the side of the existing intersection. The CO 119 southbound lanes will be shifted closer to IBM Drive to create a median for the bikeway.

Visit Highway 119 Bikeway Project - Boulder County to see all the photos.

Need a Lift to the Denver Pride Parade

You can join CDOT in celebrating Pride Month by tagging along with Bustang, CDOT’s interregional bus service, which will roll through the Denver Pride Parade on June 29, showing that public transportation is for everyone. Now is a better time than ever to come together to build not just infrastructure, but a welcoming industry that values talent, respect, and collaboration.

Chicano/Latinx Historic Context Study

Community Planning & Permitting Historic Preservation Team and Parks & Open Space has officially released a Request for Proposals (RFP) for a new Chicano/Latinx Historic Context Study as part of our Raíces Resilientes (Resilient Roots) initiative.
