+Gaps AnalysisVia only during business hours and on one weekend day- issue for those who work
Concerns of being stranded- service times largely spaced apart
Physically capable yet still disabled- issue for those who are impaired but do not qualify
Stop elimination- stop on only one side of street prevents usage

+RTD bus stops acceptable; surrounding
sidewalks inaccessible for handicap access.
RTD features ≠ disabled populations needs- senior home night stops
Lack of handicap cross walk safety amenities in Boulder- minimal buttons
BIGGEST GAP- lack of interregional transportation options and knowledge- Longmont least served

+RecommendationsIncrease accessibility to underserved
areas such as Longmont and rural Boulder County
Extend hours of service for individuals who work
Expand Access-A-Ride qualificationsIdentify physical barriers to bus stopsImprove awareness when moving a
bus stop Improve methods of communication,
especially for the visually impaired
