Integrated Transit and Multimodal Study

How do you prefer to get around Douglas County?

This Douglas County Integrated Transit and Multimodal Study builds on previous planning efforts and provides recommendations for enhancements to the transit and multimodal transportation network throughout the northern portion of the county. The study area includes the urban and suburban locales of Castle Pines, Castle Rock, Highlands Ranch, Lone Tree, and Parker. Other parts of the county are more rural in nature and have lower population and destination densities that may not support the same level of transit and multimodal transportation service in the near-term.

Executive Summary of Integrated Transit and Multimodal Report (published on July 29, 2025)

Final Integrated Transit and Multimodal Report (published on July 29, 2025)

The final report/study:
• Collaborates with municipal partners, organizational partners, and the public,
• Documents existing gaps in the transit and multimodal transportation network,
• Recommends physical and operational improvements,
• Identifies pilot projects to implement, and
• Develops a framework for the sustained enhancement and expansion of transit and multimodal transportation options.

Public Informational Meetings

Public Informational Meetings occurred in February 2025. 

What we know...

  • Transportation options are lacking for people in the County who do not own a vehicle to connect to places they want to go.
  • Many Douglas County communities are not served by RTD and are underserved by existing transit.
  • There is not a dedicated, reliable transit service to connect the RTD regional rail and bus systems to county communities.

 

See Focus Group Priorities

How was the study done?

Douglas County relied on public input and technical analysis to inform the study. The County worked to understand community needs and how transit – travel by bus, train, light rail, and rideshare – can help people in Douglas County.

The information gathered identified places where the current transit network does not connect people to the places they want to go, and potential near- and long-term improvements to the existing system or new connections.
