Transforming your trip

We studied current travel habits, capacity, service, and infrastructure to understand how the system is performing today.

Over six months, we engaged residents in English and Spanish through surveys, bus-stop pop-ups, focus groups, and stakeholder interviews.

We collected 865 survey responses, held 150 conversations at six pop-ups, and engaged 23 organizations across 12 stakeholder interviews.

All materials were bilingual, and two of five focus groups were conducted in Spanish. We also partnered with community leaders to broaden our reach.

We brought together technical analysis and public input to create a set of route and service alternatives for the Valley, Highway 6, and Minturn corridors.

Each alternative was evaluated for travel time, frequency, reliability, and ridership performance.

We compiled feedback from the public, staff, and stakeholders on each alternative and used it to refine options.

We selected the best elements from the Valley, Highway 6, and Minturn alternatives and combined them into a single preferred approach.

We tested scenarios with Core Transit staff to confirm they are realistic to operate.

We produced a preferred scenario based on feedback, evaluation, and operational viability. This becomes the future transit system described in the plan.

We will implement the plan and re-evaluate every 3 to 5 years to keep it aligned with community needs.
