Mobility for All has completed the Transportation Option to Reach Covid-19 Vaccination Sites plan. The document is designed to help clients find the best transportation option to reach vaccine sites throughout Boulder County. The plan includes an inventory of all transportation organizations who are providing trips to and from vaccine sites through out the county. The plan includes the population each organization serves, geographic area, services they provide and contact information, all in an easy to read matrix allowing for quickly finding the transit solution that works best for each client.

The plan can be found here English | Español

As the Denver region continues to grow, DRCOG is committed to continuing to improve the region’s transportation infrastructure and services. The 2050 RTP is a comprehensive vision for improving how we get around. The draft of the plan is now available for your review, and a public hearing on the draft will be held on March 17.

Help NADTC Learn More About Transportation Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the United States

As part of continuing efforts to identify transportation access, usage and disparities that impact diverse groups, the National Aging and Disability Transportation Center (NADTC) has launched a national equity, diversity and inclusion transportation survey. The survey will gauge opinions and obtain information from a representative sample of racially, ethnically and culturally diverse older adults, people with disabilities and family caregivers about their experiences accessing and using local transportation options in the United States.
