NW Metro Region Growth
As the northwest metro region grows, our communities gain economic vitality and tax revenue—but face mounting pressure on strained transportation infrastructure.
Commuting Solutions partners with local governments, elected officials, and transportation providers to champion smarter infrastructure investments and expanded multimodal options, including bus rapid transit, commuter rail, and bike and pedestrian networks. Our mission is to secure funding for regional projects that improve mobility, cut emissions, and enhance quality of life.
Together, we’re building a connected, sustainable future for the Northwest Metro Region—where getting around is easier, greener, and better for everyone.
Northwest Area Mobility Study
The Northwest Area Mobility Study (NAMS), completed in 2014, was a collaborative planning initiative led by elected officials, the Regional Transportation District (RTD), the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), and 13 partner jurisdictions and agencies. The study established shared priorities for transit investments and mobility strategies across the northwest metro region.
NAMS provides a data-informed, consensus-driven approach to identifying high-impact solutions that address regional travel demand, connectivity, and long-term multimodal goals. The recommendations provided in this report continue to guide our work today.
Transportation Demand Management
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is a core focus here at Commuting Solutions. TDM focuses on optimizing mobility by making better use of transportation options that already exist. It’s a strategic approach to maximizing the efficiency of a transportation system. That means encouraging choices like carpooling, biking, walking, using public transit, or even shifting travel times to reduce congestion.
TDM is a cost-effective way to manage growth, reduce congestion, and improve quality of life.
