Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT)

Join us for Downtown Summer Fest this Saturday and celebrate the kick-off of the Paris Olympics at the U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Museum! Enjoy a variety of exciting activities, including sports demonstrations and live music. This is going to be a big event, so parking may be limited. To simplify your visit, consider taking the bus! You can park anywhere in downtown and hop on THE ZEB Downtown Shuttle , which has convenient stops near the event at Tejon and Vermijo, as well as Sierra Madre and Costilla. Plus, remember that ALL Metro bus rides are free through August, so you can catch a bus to the Downtown Terminal, just one block east of a THE ZEB Route.

Mountain Metro seeks comments on Fall Service Change Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) is proposing new service enhancements and is seeking public comment. If approved, the changes will start on Sunday, September 29, 2024.  These enhancements include: Route 15: Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) proposes to adjust timepoints on Route 15 to enhance on-time performance. MMT is analyzing the primary causes of on-time performance issues and making necessary timepoint modifications. Route 24: MMT proposes to make timepoint adjustments to Route 24 to improve connections Route 23. These routes connect at S. Carefree Cir. and Tutt Blvd. once per hour with only one minute between the scheduled arrival of Route 24 and the departure of Route 23. By making this timepoint adjustment, riders will have more time to make transfers between the two routes. Route 18: MMT proposes to extend weekday evening service on Route 18 by three additional hours. Currently, Route 18 ends service at 6:51 p.m. Route 19: MMT proposes to extend weekday evening service on Route 19 by one additional hour.

We are having a party and you are invited! Mountain Metro will be participating in the Colorado Springs 1000 Neighborhood Gatherings Initiative to kickoff Zero Fare for Better Air on Monday July 1 between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. at the Downtown Terminal (Corner of E. Kiowa and Nevada Ave.). Staff will be available to answer any questions, listen to concerns, and hear your ideas about improving transit. We will also be handing out popsicles, stickers, and other fun items. So take a free ride and come talk to us!

Thank you to the more than 100 riders that came through our Metro/Pike Ride/ Switchbacks breakfast party station this morning. We had a lot of fun. Another fun event is coming to the Downtown Terminal next week. Stay tuned for details!

Join us this Wednesday, June 26, for Bike to Work Day. We are partnering with our friends at PikeRide at their hub across from the US Olympic and Paralympic Museum. We will have food, drinks and fun bike giveaways while supplies last from 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.

The free fares are made possible by Senate Bill 24-032, which allows Colorado transit agencies to receive an Ozone Season Transit Grant. The grant aims to encourage the use of public transportation and reduce the number of cars on the road during the summer months, when ozone levels are typically at their highest.   

Today was the first day for the 1000 Neighborhood Gatherings Initiative and we were glad to see Mayor Yemi and Governor Polis using The ZEB to get to some of these gatherings!

We greatly appreciate everyone who attended our open house last night to learn more about the 2050 Regional Transit Plan & Specialized Transportation Plan. We received valuable feedback and would love to hear from those who couldn't make it by taking our quick survey. The survey will be open until May 15, 2024. Thank you! https://lnkd.in/guz4Wv8i
