Let’s make change together.
About us
Since 1997, our public-private partnership—a Transportation Management Association, or TMA—has expanded transportation options across southeast Denver and Glendale. Formed in response to rising traffic on Colorado Boulevard and declining regional air quality, we develop practical solutions that make travel easier, more affordable, and more sustainable for residents, businesses, and institutions.
Transportation Solutions partners with the Denver Regional Council of Governments’ Way to Go program and is one of eight TMAs serving the metropolitan area. Our work is supported by the cities of Denver and Glendale, CDOT, DRCOG, the University of Denver, the Cherry Creek North Business Improvement District, Cherry Creek Shopping Center, RTD, and a broad network of employers, developers, and resident groups.
Our efforts have reduced driving by more than 40 million vehicle miles, helped employers attract and retain workers through easier commutes, and eased delays caused by local and regional traffic. We also guide developers in reducing parking needs and designing buildings that support walking, biking, and public transit. In addition, we created Station-Area Master Plans for the University of Denver and Colorado light rail stations and secured more than $8 million for nearby improvements.
Right now and what's next
RTD Connect
RTD Connect is exploring how RTD’s services can be optimized and delivered in the most efficient way possible. Transportation Solutions is a proud member of the RTD Connect stakeholder group and will publish updates in our upcoming newsletters. In the meantime, stay tuned for upcoming RTD community engagement opportunities.
TDM for Affordable Housing
Transportation Demand Management (TDM) plays a critical role in reducing parking demand and supporting lower-cost development. Through implementing TDM strategies, policymakers, developers, and funders can work to increase affordability through integrated housing and transportation strategies.

Colfax BRT Reaches a Major Milestone
East Colfax Avenue is entering a new era of transit. The East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit project is creating an 8.5-mile connection between Broadway in Denver and the I-225 R Line station in Aurora, with features designed to make bus travel faster, more reliable, and easier to use.
Bus rapid transit combines the flexibility of a bus with many features associated with rail service. The 15 and 15L RTD routes have begun using center bus-only lanes and stations between Broadway and Colorado Boulevard. The complete BRT system to I-225 is expected to open in late 2027 or early 2028.
DRCOG is doing an admirable job of keeping the Denver Metro Area moving. They need all of their neighborhood groups to make that happen, though, and Transportation Solutions is a vital partner for the southeast part of town. Stuart, Robby, and their predecessors have always provided great support to the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s Glendale and Lowry locations. We count on them for a lot, they always deliver, and we look forward to working with them even more in the future.
