Dear Editor,

Community members are invited to share transit needs, opportunities, and experiences through November 20. 

Boulder County is creating its first Transit Plan, called “Linking Boulder County,” and wants community input on current and future transit needs.  

The community is invited to give initial input through a survey, virtual open house, and local pop-up events between October 15 and November 20, 2025.

The goal of this round of public outreach is to inform the plan’s vision and goals and deepen the County’s understanding of transit needs and opportunities.

Linking Boulder County is a vision and action plan to make public transit easier and more useful for people who live, work, and visit Boulder County.

Transit includes buses operated by RTD, shuttles to parks and mountains, and shared vehicles like Ride Free Lafayette and paratransit.

This plan is the first time Boulder County has set a countywide vision for transit, and it’s an important opportunity to better serve our community. Ultimately, Linking Boulder County will help public transit meet the needs of our growing county today and into the future. 

The community is invited to help us shape the plan and the future of transit in Boulder County in three ways:

Complete the online survey by November 20

Find us at a pop-up event around the county (see the project website for dates and locations)
