The City of Longmont has started a year-long process to craft a Transportation Mobility Plan to guide the future of transportation in Longmont as a part of an update to Envision Longmont 2018. The Longmont Transportation Mobility Plan (TMP) process will look at the current conditions of people moving around and through Longmont and propose future upgrades and improvements. Safe and accessible transportation options for people walking, biking, and taking transit is a priority, while assuring that Longmont’s overall transportation system is safe, comfortable, and well maintained.

The Longmont TMP process will include robust public engagement to understand current transportation conditions and challenges, develop a vision and goals for a transportation future that equitably and safely serves all Longmont users, and set a path to meeting the city’s sustainability objectives. Through broad and inclusive community input and data-driven analysis, the project will develop a transformational transportation mobility plan with a prioritized list of future transportation capital improvement projects, policies, and programs.

The City of Longmont has reached a critical milestone in crafting the Transportation Mobility Plan to guide the future of walking, rolling, transit and transportation safety. Draft mobility recommendations were shared at a public meeting on Thursday, July 18 and through a community survey that opened that same day and closed August 23.

Through this engagement, the City heard that multi-modal facilities are currently inadequate, and traffic, speeding, and pedestrian safety are concerns. There is a desire for the Plan to be inclusive of all modes of transportation, and there is strong support for an accessible and connected pedestrian network throughout the city. Residents want a high-comfort and connected network for biking and rolling, and more frequent and efficient transit options, including better bus shelters and increased service, particularly regionally.
