Planning for the future of transportation in Douglas County

January 30, 2025 at 1:11 pm

Are you planning for your future in 2025? Douglas County is too, with connectivity through transportation. Whether you travel solely by car or are looking for a transit option, Douglas County wants to continue improving the way you move throughout the county. There are several opportunities to provide your feedback throughout February. Share your feedback with Douglas County by completing a brief survey.

To learn about the Integrated Transit and Multimodal Study, comment on new potential opportunities and proposed transit options, attend one of these meetings:

  • Wednesday, Feb. 12, from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Philip S. Miller Building, 100 Third Street; Castle Rock, CO 80104
  • Thursday, Feb. 13, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Highlands Ranch Senior Center, 200 E Highlands Ranch Parkway in Highlands Ranch, CO 80126 (The Senior Center is next to Stop #24966 / Highlands Ranch Parkway & Ridgeglen Way on RTD’s 402L bus line, Westbound.)

The same information will be presented at both meetings, so there is no need to attend both.

If you’re more interested in vehicle travel, you’ll want to learn about the 2050 Transportation Plan. Please plan to attend one of the following meetings to learn about the current state of transportation and share input on your transportation needs:

  • Wednesday, March 5, from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m. at Parker Library, 201 Mainstreet; Parker, CO 80134
  • Wednesday, March 5, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at Highlands Ranch Library, 9292 S. Ridgeline Boulevard; Highlands Ranch, CO 80129
  • Thursday, March 6, from 10 a.m. to noon, at Castle Rock Library, 100 S Wilcox Street; Castle Rock, CO 80104
  • Thursday, March 6, from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Castle Pines Library, 360 Village Square Lane; Castle Pines, CO 80108

The same information will be presented at all meetings.

The 2050 Transportation Plan will evaluate the existing status of the road network, projections for future demands, and public input to guide investment in transportation improvements. During a series of community meetings, Douglas County will present the latest data about the transportation system and collect public input on how the community would like to see transportation addressed.

Additionally, with the Integrated Transit and Multimodal Study, Douglas County wants to find ways to provide reasonable and reliable transit to people who do not own or have access to their own transportation, who do not own a phone, and/or who have limited personal mobility. In February, an online survey will also be available to share your input.

To stay up to date on the transit study and transportation plan – and to receive the survey link – sign up for the Douglas County Transportation and Transit Study email list.
