Where We're At

Over the past year and a half, thousands of Denverites have weighed in on Denver's transportation future.

Your input has helped us to establish a vision and goals for our city's transportation future. Now, we are seeking your input on how we will be planning transportation improvements to advance our shared vision and goals.

Summer 2022: Project Recommendations - We are here!. We're almost done.
< Back Welcome! We're Happy You're Here Next > You Spoke, We Listened

You Talked. We Listened.

Your feedback set Denver's shared values for the future of transportation in Denver. Now we're aligning how and where we will invest to achieve Denver's vision and goals.

Denver's 2050 Transportation Vision: Denver moves everyone and everything with respect and care. Denver is a city of safe streets connected by sustainable mobility options, providing equitable access and opportunity for the people who need it most.

Denver Moves Everyone includes six goals, with equity being the common thread linking each goal.

Click each goal to learn how each goal reflects the values important to Denverites

Equity: Achieving transportation equity means living in a city where your identity no longer impacts your ability to thrive; where transportation is accessible and affordable to all; and where everyone has the opportunity to travel easily no matter their race, ethnicity, income, or physical ability.

Mobility: A city that provides transportation choices that move all people, goods, and services reliably, easily, and affordably.

Safety: A city with zero traffic deaths and serious injuries, where everyone feels safe and comfortable traveling throughout the city, regardless of their age, gender, race, ethnicity, or how and when they travel.

Sustainability: A city with a transportation system that is pollution free and resilient in the face of climate change, making Denver healthier for all people with health inequities caused by the transportation system eliminated.

Community: A city where neighborhoods are connected to all the places people go, with streets designed for people and shaped by communities and cultures.

Quality: A city where the transportation system is maintained in a consistent state of good repair, using robust data to prioritize investments in neighborhood that need it most and to minimize cost across the system.

Equity: Achieving transportation equity means living in a city where your identity no longer impacts your ability to thrive; where transportation is accessible and affordable to all; and where everyone has the opportunity to travel easily no matter their race, ethnicity, income, or physical ability.

Let's Get Moving!

To help get us closer to our goals in the short term, a draft plan of improvements is recommended to help achieve a transportation system that helps you move better in your neighborhood and around the city. Though projects will be programmed throughout the city, improvements will be focused in areas with the greatest need. Click here to see the draft list of improvements planned for the short-term.

Click on each icon to see where improvements are proposed to each part of Denver's transportation system in the short-term. Scroll down to see the map.

This map highlights Denver’s draft plan for large transportation projects to advance in the short term, including existing bond-funded projects and new projects prioritized by feedback collected through Denver Moves Everyone. These are “complete street” projects and will include enhancements that benefit all street users, such as new and wider sidewalks, trees, high-comfort bikeways, new and enhanced crossings, or dedicated bus lanes and improved bus stops. Click on the project in the map to learn more about each.
