Background
Boulder County is working in partnership with Commuting Solutions, City of Longmont and City of Boulder in developing a First and Final Mile (FFM) Study for State Highway 119, also known as the Diagonal Highway. The purpose of this study is to identify strategies, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, programs, and services to increase access and ridership on the future 119 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT).
A first or final mile gap is a barrier that discourages potential riders from using transit because a station cannot be easily accessed from home, work, or other destinations. The purpose of the study is to identify strategies, bicycle and pedestrian facilities, programs, and service to overcome that gap and increase access and ridership on the future 119 Bus Rapid Transit and bikeway corridor.
Visit Commuting Solutions – First and Final Mile for more information on the study, view an overview of the Highway 119 corridor plan, or contact Project Coordinator Jeff Butts.
