Please join us on Thursday, February 18 to learn more about ConnectCOS, an innovative transportation plan, and how your input can help shape the future of how people move around Colorado Springs. The meeting will highlight the results of a recent community-wide survey of transportation challenges and opportunities in the areas of driving, walking, bicycling, and using public transportation.
This citizen survey showed that most people use cars to get around, but that congestion and travel times are their biggest factors in making travel choices. They also said they recognize the need for people to have accessible options for how to travel-- whether it be bike, by foot or using public transportation. The survey also identified some of the concerns that community members have such as, congested intersections, missing sidewalks to move people through neighborhoods, limited public transportation options, and a lack of connectivity for people to get to their destinations.
ConnectCOS seeks to address the tremendous growth that has recently taken place in Colorado Springs and will build on years of study and analysis to identify and prioritize future transportation improvements. Evolved from PlanCOS, our citizen-influenced comprehensive plan for how our city will look in 20 years, ConnectCOS seeks to develop a long-term transportation plan to help ensure an efficient, accessible, safe, and well-connected network. As the planning effort continues to move forward, we look to residents to provide insight to help us create a transportation roadmap that reflects the evolving needs of our community.

We are excited to share the goals of the ConnectCOS during our upcoming virtual public meeting and what we've learned since we launched the study in late 2020. We want to learn more about what people who call Colorado Springs home perceive the biggest transportation challenges and opportunities to be. Please encourage your friends, neighbors, family and colleagues to join. Transportation affects all of us, whether you walk, bike, take the bus or drive a car... we invite you to be a part of planning for our transportation future.
