The Transfort Optimization Plan (Phase 1) was developed through community feedback, data analysis and transit industry best practices providing the community with more frequent service on key routes and a simpler, grid-based network. The changes were designed to improve frequency, reliability and connections while operating within available resources. Phase 1 changes were implemented on August 17, 2026.

The Dial-A-Ride service area changed to match the updated fixed-route bus system. Dial-A-Ride service hours are 6 a.m. - 9:30 p.m. Dial-A-Ride service no longer operates on Sundays. Dial-A-Taxi vouchers have a value of $15 each and the Dial-A-Taxi service area expanded to

    Thank you for this feedback, we do recognize the connection between CSU and many of the community members in the Rigden Farm area. While the official public engagement period for this study was May through July, our service development team will continue to receive feedback on all routes.

    Can we add a WC to the bus station?

    All three of our Transit Centers have restrooms available Monday-Friday 8 a.m.-5 p.m. except for holidays. Most of our other bus stops don't have water or sewer lines - making public restrooms challenging.

    Transfort is and will continue to be funded through a combination of existing local, state and federal funding sources. 

  • Share As someone who uses a large power chair, I’ve never found a microtransit option that works for my mobility aid - most vans and sedans won’t work for power chairs even if they are accessible for manual ones. Will this be taken into consideration when factoring in whether or not microtransit is a viable option? I live in an area that would lose bus access and be solely dependent on microtransit if that plan were selected, and I’m very concerned about losing access to transportation altogether. on Facebook Share As someone who uses a large power chair, I’ve never found a microtransit option that works for my mobility aid - most vans and sedans won’t work for power chairs even if they are accessible for manual ones.

    If microtransit is implemented at a future date, it would include fully accessible vehicles available by request to accommodate most mobility aids.

    Historically, Routes 11 and 12 have had some of the lowest ridership in the system, which places them lower on the list for potential return to service. The Horsetooth corridor is being reviewed as part of the Optimization Study.

    Thanks for that feedback! The Optimization Study is reviewing all existing routes as well as looking at new travel corridors. Your suggestions will be included with other public feedback we've been collecting, not only for the period of the Optimization Study, but for ongoing adjustments as well.
