mobility
a connected multimodal region
Desired Outcomes
The regional transportation system is well-connected and serves all modes of travel.
The transportation system integrates regional and local roadways and streets, transit (bus and rail), bicycle and pedestrian facilities, and air and freight rail linkages. The transportation system connects the region to the rest of the state and beyond, and will evolve to include future technology and mobility innovations as appropriate.
The transportation system is safe, reliable and well-maintained.
Educational, enforcement and engineering approaches enhance safety to reduce crashes, serious injuries and fatalities. Coordinated operations and management of the system maximizes capacity and reliability for all users. Transportation system physical components are well-maintained to extend their useful life and provide a quality travel experience.
Lyft: A Private Industry Leader in Green Transportation Solutions
Advancements in transportation technology can offer residents quicker, cleaner and more efficient ways to move around our fast-growing region. In partnership with the City of Denver and agencies like Electrify America, RTD and CDOT, Lyft is making a significant investment in green transportation solutions through a commitment to transition into offering only electric vehicles on its platform by 2030.
performance measures
Performance measures are critically important in monitoring the region’s progress toward Metro Vision themes and outcomes. They are used to obtain regular measurement of outcomes and results. They also generate reliable data to help local governments and partners evaluate policies, programs and initiatives. As part of its reporting on plan progress toward creating a connected, multimodal region, DRCOG will use the performance measures outlined below.
