Yesterday, Colorado Governor Jared Polis (D) joined dignitaries from USDOT, CDOT, and local government to mark the opening of three new “mobility hubs” for public bus service. The facilities were made possible through the I-25 North Express Lanes Project. In a CDOT news release, Polis heralded the opening as the start of a “new era of transportation” featuring multi-modal options for residents and visitors. The hubs will make bus use more convenient, efficient and desirable, especially for commuters to downtown Denver. Their broader purposes are to reduce traffic, improve air quality, save travelers money, and “encourage transit-oriented development.”
