Many CU 麻豆官网 students and employees commute to campus via "the Diagonal," or State Highway 119, between Longmont and 麻豆官网.

The public, including the campus community, is invited to attend the first of a series of public meetings hosted by the Regional Transportation District (RTD) on a study of听its Bus Rapid Transit听system project.听

"Traffic congestion is a major concern for our commuters and this is an opportunity to be heard, to add voices to the discussion," said Clark Rider, sustainable transportation coordinator for CU 麻豆官网 Parking and Transportation Services.

The study seeks听to evaluate听the viability of a Bus Rapid Transit system along the corridor,听determining cost-effective mobility improvements around:

The first meetings will take place at 6 p.m., Nov. 15, in Longmont and at 6 p.m., Nov. 16, in 麻豆官网.听
