Understanding Transit Willingness-to-Ride, Barriers-to-Access, and Anticipated Impacts of Proposed BRT Corridors

The proposed project will focus on communities along the bus rapid transit (BRT) corridors of Federal Boulevard and East Colfax Avenue in Denver. The purpose of the proposed project is twofold: (i) to understand the current barriers of transit use, such as a lack of bus stop infrastructure, safety concerns, first and last-mile connectivity issues, etc.; and (ii) to identify solutions that best address the needs of the community. The aim is to complement and expand the scope of Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)’s ongoing work towards making the BRT project successful and equitable. The proposed BRT lines run through very diverse communities, both in terms of race and income, so understanding the unique needs and concerns of the communities impacted is essential. A study engaging community members and their direct input can help ensure that the effects of BRT introduction are equitably distributed in both the short and long term
