TRAFFIC & TRANSPORTATION

Transportation

Transportation is a basic human need that affects the quality of life every day. Broomfield residents require transportation to get to work, school, medical facilities, recreational amenities, shopping, and community and social activities. 

A well-connected and efficient transportation network allows access to higher-paying and varying job types, a wider selection of housing options, and more convenient health and human services. An integrated multimodal transportation system allows residents, employees, and visitors of Broomfield the freedom of personal mobility and choice of how to travel— whether it’s walking, biking, driving, carpooling, or riding public or private transportation.
