Mobility Hubs | Transportation Centers Reimagined
What is a Mobility Hub?
A mobility hub is a place where multiple modes of transportation (cars, regional bus services, bicycles, pedestrians, micro-mobility, public transportation, etc.) seamlessly integrate to allow for quick mode-to-mode and route-to-route connections from the first to the last mile.
They most often are activity centers that have shelters, real-time passenger information, and other technologies not typically found at a traditional park-n-ride. CDOT has prioritized mobility hubs as a statewide program since 2019 and are committed to expanding statewide bus transportation services.
Where Can I Find Mobility Hubs?
CDOT’s Mobility Hubs will be located all along I-25 from Fort Collins to Pueblo and I-70 from Denver to Grand Junction and provide convenient Bustang bus services to most of Colorado. Several of these hubs will replace existing park-n-ride stations while others will provide new connections. Check the map below to learn more about the status and location of planned Mobility Hubs.

Colorado has experienced significant population growth over the past decade and is projected to continue to grow and urbanize in the future, especially along the Front Range. The transportation options and infrastructure that were built in the 20th century to support the state will not meet the needs of Colorado’s future residents. As a result, CDOT and its partners continue to plan and implement high-quality transportation infrastructure and services that can accommodate Colorado’s changing needs – for which Mobility Hubs will play a critical role. In 2019, CDOT made the policy decision to prioritize SB 17-267 funds for the development of mobility hubs across the state.
“When the Commission and CDOT decided to prioritize state funds to develop mobility hubs, we knew we needed to have the necessary infrastructure in place to meet the transportation needs of the 21st century,” said Colorado Transportation Commissioner Karen Stuart.
The mobility hubs will be used to further enhance the Bustang, Bustang Outrider, and other interregional transit services that CDOT currently deploys. Increasing transit services across the state will, in turn, assist state initiatives to decrease air pollution, reduce vehicle miles traveled, and mitigate congestion along key travel corridors.
Mobility Hub Benefits
- Improve current regional bus services and rider convenience
- Re-envision the traditional park-n-ride transit locations into centers of transportation activity and connectivity
“Our current mobility hubs, the one we’re breaking ground on today, and the ones we’re going to construct in the next several years, will play a critical role in shaping our transportation future.”
Mobility Hub Locations
Mobility Hubs are planned for several towns and cities across Colorado, including:
- Lone Tree
- Castle Rock
- Monument
- Colorado Springs
- Pueblo
- Idaho Springs
- Grand Junction
- Fairplay
Locations for Mobility Hubs were determined through a comprehensive evaluation that began with the Regional Bus Network Plan – which identified that a Bustang stop should be located every 10 miles along the I-25 Corridor from Fort Collins to Pueblo, and every 30 miles between Denver and Grand Junction. Additionally, factors such as roadway geometry, travel patterns, regional connectivity, community support, and surrounding land uses were taken into account.
Public Transit
Connect to regional and local bus routes.
Ride Share
Designated pick-up and drop-off zones taxis, Uber and Lyft.
Micro-Mobility
Access to e-scooters and other micro-mobility devices.
Parking
Short- and long-term parking are available.
Biking
Use bike-sharing services or access to bike/pedestrian paths.
CDOT, Thornton & Broomfield break ground on I-25 mobility hub
New facility will provide northern Colorado with additional transit options and connections to other locations across the state.
CDOT & City of Lone Tree break ground on I-25 mobility hub
The fifth one along the I-25 corridor will provide people in the south metro area with additional transit options.
