About the Plans
The 2045 Transit and Specialized Transportation Plans are complete. These plans serve as the framework for the ongoing development and coordination of both transit services and human services (specialized) transportation for the Pikes Peak region. The plans are dynamic and updated every five years. Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) led the development of the transit plan. The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) led the update to the specialized transportation coordination plan. The final 2045 Transit and Specialized Transportation plans were reviewed and accepted by the PPACG Board of Directors in January 2020. These plans have been incorporated into the region’s 2045 Long Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) for implementation.
Transit Plan
The transit plan provides guidance for MMT when considering changes in service, frequencies, new projects, and growth of the system.
Specialized Plan
View the Specialized Plan - Final
The specialized plan sets out the evolution of coordination among multiple transit and transportation providers for seniors and individuals with disabilities. This planning process is required by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) for those agencies receiving certain federal funds.
Previous Plans
Previous updates to both plans were last completed in 2015. Much of the recommendations of the previous plans have been advanced. Review the 2040 Regional Transit and Specialized Transportation Plans.
