The three scenarios below are built around different philosophies and are meant to show trade-offs associated with limited financial resources. This project's final recommendation will not be exactly one of these three scenarios but rather a blended hybrid based on analysis and community input.

Routes not shown that will continue to operate as they do now: HORN, FLEX*, GOLD, Foothills Shuttle.

*FLEX may include extensions, altered hours or other modifications.

Surveys

Surveys were completed July 14, 2025. We'll publish survey findings here soon.

For more information about how each scenario was developed, see the presentation in the Documents section of this webpage.

Scenario 1: Travel Patterns

Scenario 1 prioritizes high frequency, direct bus routes on corridors where people already travel the most.

Scenario 2: Rider Demand

Scenario 2 prioritizes direct connections for areas with the highest current or anticipated transit demand.

What is microtransit? Microtransit is a flexible, on-demand transportation service that operates as a shared ride system (similar to Uber or Lyft), typically using smaller vehicles.

Scenario 3: Condensed Network

Scenario 3 provides a condensed bus network for the highest demand areas and microtransit for lower density areas.

In addition to the online survey and community events, we are engaging with the following community groups and organizations for their feedback: Chamber of Commerce, City Boards and Commissions, Community Connectors, Downtown Development Authority, Housing Catalyst, Larimer County Assistance Coalition, Larimer County Mobility Committee, Midtown Business Improvement District, North Fort Collins Business Association and Poudre School District.
