Why BRT?
To meet the Colorado Transportation Commission's commitment to
reduce greenhouse gas emissions, CDOT is building BRT on major
arterials in the Denver Metro area. BRT will improve transit for
existing riders and add high-quality service for new ones.
What is it?
BRT is a high-capacity, efficient bus service that incorporates elements
of light-rail. These include stations, all-door boarding, purchasing
tickets before riding, and in some locations dedicated bus lanes.
Who is involved?
CDOT is working in partnership with the Regional Transportation
District (RTD), the City and County of Denver, the Denver Regional
Council of Governments (DRCOG), and local partners to deliver BRT.
How long will it take?
Planning and engineering, including evaluating environmental,
social, and economic impacts, will occur over the next few years.
Construction on the corridors will begin in 2024 and continue
through 2030.
