Provide Input on The Mobility and Access for All Ages & Abilities Plan
The draft of the Mobility and Access for All Ages and Abilities Plan, or the Coordinated Human Services Transportation Plan, is a collaborative action plan for human services and transportation programs and partners to work together to improve mobility and access for people of all ages and abilities in and around Boulder County. The plan includes realistic and manageable strategies for the Mobility and Access Coalition (MAC) and its community partners to work on collaboratively and adequately address over the next 5 years.
We are looking for your input on these strategies that will guide the work of Boulder County, Mobility for All, the MAC, and Youth Transportation Programs over the next five years. Specifically, we would appreciate any comments about the "who" in each strategy.
Comments on the plan are due by March 25.

Marshall Fire Transportation Needs Survey: Have you been affected by the Marshall Fire? Boulder County and partners would like to understand the transportation needs of community members affected by the fire through a survey that will inform what resources, advising, and incentives may be needed. Survey is available in English and Spanish.
Donate: Help victims of the Marshall Fire by donating to the Boulder County Wildfire Fund.
Public Comment: RTD Is Seeking Your Input on the System Optimization Plan.
Center for People with Disabilities (CPWD) is conducting a survey to better understand transportation needs of individuals experiencing disabilities. Please encourage the people you serve who are experiencing disabilities take this 12 question survey, telling CPWD why access to transportation services is important.
They are especially interested in hearing about any barriers that people are currently experiencing to inform potential transportation training options with CPWD.
To request assistance or take the survey over the phone please email or call us at (303) 442-8662

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) will host four listening sessions centered on non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT). All four sessions are open to the public.
