The first and final mile of a transit trip is often the hardest miles to complete, especially in suburban communities that were originally designed for cars. Limited connections and long walking distances are just a couple of factors that can prove difficult to reach a final destination or to leave from your neighborhood. The US 36 First and Final Mile Study was developed to address how the northwest metro region can overcome the first and final mile and reduce barriers to riding transit. By addressing the First and Final Mile issue, our study and resulting efforts are connecting commuters, residents and visitors to their destinations safely, efficiently and single occupancy vehicle free.
The First and Final Mile Study focuses on the ease-of-use and travel-safety concerns related to the first and final miles of a commute and provides solutions on how to make travel options in the northwest metro region safe, accessible and attractive. The study’s main objective was to identify solutions to better connect transit riders to the six US 36 RTD stations and surrounding activity centers.
Addressing the first and final mile is an ongoing issue that Commuting Solutions is leading the way to advocate and secure funding for, to ensure that US 36 employees, residents and visitors have access to a safe and connected transit system.
