Advancing Transportation Safety and Expansion

Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Where is CDOT building BRT? CO 119 Diagonal Highway Federal Blvd. CO 7 Arapahoe Rd. Colorado Blvd. Flatiron Flyer FasTracks East Colfax Ave. Bustang 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. 42
