The City of Fort Collins has launched the Transfort Optimization Plan, aimed at working with the community to determine the most optimal way to deliver transit service to the community via our public transit system, Transfort(External link), within Transfort's budget.
Background
Operating 2019 full-service levels today would cost an extra $3 million each year because of higher costs for staff, fuel, and maintenance. Fully building out the Transit Master Plan(External link) by 2040 will require $15 million more per year. After the passing of the ¼ cent sales tax for transit which equates to about $5 million per year, an additional $13 million a year is still needed to operate full-service levels and build out the Transit Master Plan.
To manage these challenges, Transfort has launched a system review and action plan. This plan will look at current services, work with the community to decide which parts of the Transit Master Plan are most important and find ways to provide high-quality transit while staying within budget over the next 5-10 years
Transfort is committed to creating a strong, future-ready transit system focused on meeting the needs of the community.
What the project will do
The Transfort Optimization Plan will:
Review how the current bus system works and compare it to what we want in the future
Talk with the community to make sure the plan matches what people want
Figure out what improvements are most important and make a plan to act on them
Look at how to pay for the improvements and what the next steps should be
Key areas of evaluation
Fair access to transit: We’re committed to removing barriers to ensure more residents can use transit.
High-frequency bus routes (buses that come more often)
Micro-transit options (small buses or ride-sharing)
New mobility hubs where people can easily transfer between routes and access other modes of transportation.
Regional transit
Community engagement: Your opinion is important! We’ll have chances for you to:
Share your thoughts about how we deliver service and what’s most important to you
Give feedback on possible improvements
Learn about how the future service will be funded
Looking ahead
The Transfort Optimization Plan will focus on making improvements now, but we will also keep in mind our long-term goals for the future. This way, we can make progress in the short term while working towards a better future for public transit in Fort Collins.
