Regional Transit Coordinating Council

Transit services are recognized by the area/regional public as a large gap in Southwest Colorado’s transportation infrastructure. The 2035 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) cites that 96 percent of Southwest Colorado transit needs are not being met. With regional transit needs recognized by various agencies and the community as a whole, a Southwest Colorado Transit Feasibility Study was undertaken in 2009 to consider how service areas could be expanded. The Region 9 Economic Development District was the administrator of the project, which made recommendations for implementation. Establishing a Working Group or Coordinating Council was one of the recommendations.

A Regional Transit Coordinating Council (RCC) began meeting in September 2010 and is open to area transit service providers, human service providers, government entities, and other interested persons committed to regional transit services improvement in the region. The RCC was selected to participate in the 2011 Accessible Transportation Coalitions Initiative. Funded through a cooperative agreement with the U.S. Department of Transportation, Federal Transit Administration, Easter Seals Project ACTION promotes cooperation between the transportation industry and the disability community to increase mobility for people with disabilities under the ADA and beyond. An action plan for the group, including Project ACTION and regional goals has been finalized and work is underway.
