Advocates and local governments urge CTIO to prioritize multimodal transit and avoid highway widenings on I‑25 North and I‑270 Public commenters from SWEAP, NADA, NRDC and Earthjustice urged CTIO to align spending with multimodal goals, prioritize transit and safety projects, and consider alternatives to highway widening—Earthjustice asked CDOT to study a no‑widening alternative for I‑270 and to include that analysis in the draft EIS.

Public advocates are demanding a shift from highway expansions to smarter, multimodal transit solutions that could save Coloradans billions and reduce pollution.

CamCycle: Cambridge Cycling Campaign Magazine - Winter 2024/25 Talking about #equity In September, councillors, officers and those in planning consultancy positions from across the county gathered for an empathy workshop led by Melissa Bruntlett – Royal HaskoningDHV's sustainable mobility consultant. The focus was on helping participants understand why transport planning must recognise people's varying needs. Melissa made the case for an empathetic approach, pointing out that many groups are left out of conversations around the development of public space. She challenged us to think beyond the status quo, and to begin new projects by asking where there are opportunities to deliver a positive contribution to society – particularly in relation to the 'invisible' social, health and mental wellbeing outcomes of transport designs. Here are the key factors to consider. AGE EQUITY Our mobility needs change throughout our lifetimes Children need opportunities for safe, independent mobility to be physically and mentally healthy and to develop skills such as risk-assessment, learning limits and building resilience. High-quality infrastructure and reduced car speeds enable more youngsters to be active in their journeys so they can learn from their mistakes without serious consequences. We must also consider how needs for safety, exercise, social opportunities and access to shops and medical services develop as we age. According to the American Automobile Association, seniors are outliving their ability to drive safely by 7 to 10 years, so transport networks must enable them to move around without car reliance. Melissa shared evidence that high traffic volumes increase stress levels and reduce opportunities for social interaction, indicating a need to prioritise walkable neighbourhoods which support slower movement and provide places with benches where people can interact. GENDER EQUITY Gender influences mobility choices and approaches to policy and design In the UK, the EU an…
