Also, Louisville supported RTD's Ride the Bus campaign on September 28, 2017 by manning 4 Louisville bus stops with incentives. In addition, Boulder County provided a grant to preload 6,000 new MyRide pre-loaded bus passes to increase riders on the bus and to reduce single passenger vehicles on the road.

There are several recent and current projects that address this strategy: • An E-bike ordinance was recently passed in 2017, allowing e-bikes on Louisville bike paths. E-bikes help riders attain farther distances with less effort, both within and between communities. • The Louisville Call-n-Ride program (RTD) allows residents to call for a ride between communities within Louisville, including service between the Louisville Recreation Center and Superior. • The RTD system allows for travel between communities. Further, the City Manager's Office is beginning to discuss a new route serving CTC with RTD. Also, RTD initiated a Ride the Bus campaign and Boulder County provided a grant in 2017 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. • Bike Share (Zagster) received funding in May 2017 for public inter- community bike share. It will need sponsors, but implementation is expected within 6-12 months. • 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 Diverging Diamond Intersection (DDI), which saved more • Continue to discuss with RTD new routes between neighboring communities (e.g. the CTC and beyond) to improve regional and local transit service. • Consider further needs for alternative transportation solutions between neighboring communities in the future Transportation Master Plan. • Continue to support the effort to move the FastTracks project forward.
