January 2024 Proposed Service Changes
The City is considering several service enhancements that will take effect in January 2024. If you were not able to attend the public meeting in October, please provide comments to transfortinfo@fcgov.com or 970-221-6620.
Proposed January Transfort Service Enhancements
FLEX Alignment and Times: Realign the northern transfer point in Loveland from the Food Bank to the new Loveland North Transit Center (NTC) at 37th and Grant. Southbound FLEX to Loveland (F1) and FLEX to Longmont (F2) trips will depart a few minutes later from the Fort Collins South Transit Center. Minor time adjustments will be made to enhance connections with City of Loveland Transit (COLT) routes in Loveland and RTD routes in Longmont. Anticipated effective date: January 4th 2024.
FLEX Stops: FLEX to Loveland (F1) and FLEX to Longmont (F2) will serve the new stop at the Loveland North Transit Center in place of the existing stops on US 287 and 37th. FLEX Express to Boulder (F3) will not service the new Transit Center but will serve the stops on US 287 at 37th for an additional option in Loveland.
Comments on the proposed service changes can be provided to: transfortinfo@fcgov.com or 970-221-6620.

Projects and Initiatives
The West Elizabeth Enhanced Travel Corridor (ETC) Plan was adopted by City Council in October 2016. The City started the 30% design process in 2021.
ETCs are roadways that emphasize walking, biking and transit. The first ETC was the Mason Corridor, which now features MAX Bus Rapid Transit and the Mason Trail.
The West Elizabeth corridor already has high transit, bicycling and walking demand, and an ETC is a comprehensive tool that can help address some of the challenges on West Elizabeth, such as:
• Overcrowded buses
• A higher number of bike crashes than expected
• Sidewalks in some locations that do not meet standards and are not comfortable for walking
Learn more about the West Elizabeth ETC Plan here.
As the Designated Recipient of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) funds, the City of Fort Collins / Transfort has planned a Program of Projects for the Federal Fiscal Year 2023 apportionment for the Fort Collins Transportation Management Area. Section 5307 & 5339 funds are used for public transportation facilities and projects, and Section 5310 funding is used for the Enhanced Mobility of Seniors and Individuals with Disabilities. The City of Fort Collins / Transfort encourages public comment related to these federally funded projects; please review the posted Program of Projects and direct questions or comments to Kaley Zeisel at kzeisel@fcgov.com or (970) 224-6067.
This document describes the design criteria associated with transit facilities that Transfort routes serve. It includes ADA accessibility standards, bus stop type recommendations and priorities for bus stop improvements.
