DRAFT 24 26 The Louisville Call -n -Ride program (RTD) allows residents to call for a ride between communities within Louisville. The RTD system allows for travel between communities. (The City Manager's Office is beginning to discuss a new route serving CTC with RTD.) RTD initiated a Ride the Bus campaign and Boulder County has provided a grant to advertise MyRide pre -loaded bus passes, both of which Louisville supported through staff, outreach, venue and funds. A new bike shelter/cage is being installed on the Hwy 36 overpass to improve non -vehicle access to the bus stop and encourage transportation between communities. The City Manager's Office is beginning to discuss new routes with RTD, and there is a future bus service being considered from the CTC to destination points within the area. Bike Share (Zagster) received funding in May 2017. It will need sponsors, but it should be up and running in 6-12 months. The Call -N -Ride now serves the Louisville Recreation Center from the Superior side. In coordination with DRCOG, the City of Louisville and Town of Superior coordinated corridor timing improvements to reduce vehicle delay/idling/emissions. In coordination with Superior, Louisville led the initiative to build the DDI, which saved more delay/idling/emissions on the US 36 BRT route than the previous US 36 RTD Queue Jump project was achieving. In addition, Via offers transportation services between communities. Additionally, FastTracks, the passenger train system that is currently operating for a short distance in Denver, will eventually be built out to Louisville and beyond (Longmont). It is not scheduled to be implemented in Louisville, however, until 2040. This is an endeavor the City should continue to pursue and attempt to move through the legislative process more quickly on a state and federal level. solutions between communities into the future Transportation Master Plan.
