- From the Douglas County Transit Solutions Local Coordinating Council (LCC) Implementation Plan
- Demographics & Services Needed
- The current population of the County is estimated at 358,000 and is projected to reach 418,000 by 2030.
- Countywide trips have also increased from 44,431 in 2012 to 140,058 in 2018. Given this growth, including those 65 and over, and with very limited service from RTD, Douglas County seniors and persons with disabilities have come to depend upon the DCTS program to provide reliable transit services.
- Douglas County does not have adequate public transit to meet the growing demand.
- Policy & Operational Planning Efforts
- The Douglas County Board of County Commissioners prioritizes the need for affordable and accessible transportation services through two Board goals:
- Transportation – Develop and maintain a safe and accessible multimodal transportation network, leveraging partnerships to address present and future demands, ensuring local and regional connectivity.
- Health & Human Services – In partnership with families and the community, provide a safety net that protects vulnerable individuals, and
promotes self-sufficiency.
- DCTS initiated on-demand services which are consistent with the 2040 Comprehensive Master Plan, specifically:
- Goal 6-1 – “Develop an efficient, multifunctional transportation network designed to ensure safety, promote user access, and facilitate cost[1]effective operations and maintenance.”
- Policy 6-1A.2 – “Support partnerships at the local and regional level, and between the public and private sector, to improve the transportation
” - Policy 6-3A.1 – “Coordinate and support existing and future transportation services provided by other agencies to fulfill service demands of
County residents, including older adults and people with disabilities.”

- BoCo IDD Mil Levy Update, Rebecca Seiden
- They have a needs assessment for the community (housing, mental health, self-advocacy, education, monitoring, etc.) and they have a committee that meets monthly to make recommendations for future uses of funding from the Levy
- Cultivate
- Aging in place is their goal and 90% of seniors want to age in their own homes. A couple of the challenges they have been struggling with are consistent volunteers and they have less funding for mileage reimbursement.
- CO 119 Project
- They are hoping to make improvements to make alternative modes of transit competitive with driving to incentivize people to get out of their cars. This includes the creation and inclusion of Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) stations, park n rides, improvement to intersections, bikeway underpasses and bus queue bypasses. More information can be found here: https://www.rtd-denver.com/about-rtd/projects/co-119-bus-rapid-transit-brt-project
- North Foothills Bikeway Feasibility Study
- This has a goal of trying to make biking safer and more appealing to bikers who aren’t comfortable biking on main roads with high speeds
- Boulder to Erie Regional Trail (BERT)
- They are evaluating options for the creation of a new soft-surface regional trail linking Boulder to Erie (8.5 miles long). They are evaluating options and doing needs assessments. There are other hard-surface trails that may be better for commuting and other purposes. Some sections may be hard-surface or boardwalks but most sections will be soft-surface (gravel).
