Episode Synopsis

Get the scoop on changes in bus routes and schedules in this conversation with Mountain Metropolitan Transit Planning & Operations Supervisor Jacob Matsen. Changes include improvements to the free bus service through Manitou Springs so you can skip parking at the Manitou Incline and Pikes Peak Cog Railway. We also discuss bus stops for the UCCS campus and neighborhood, the free downtown shuttle (Zeb) and hybrid and electric buses.LINKS:Mountain Metro service changes: https://coloradosprings.gov/service-changesMountain Metro Mobility ADA Paratransit Service: 719-385-RIDE (7433) https://coloradosprings.gov/mountain-metro-mobility-hubRegional Transportation Planning Update - EP 140 of Peak Environment podcast: https://studio809podcasts.com/regional-transportation/ MENTIONED: Manitou SpringsManitou InclinePikes Peak Cog RailwayHiawatha GardensManitou ChamberBarr TrailFree Downtown Shuttle (Zeb)UCCSRobson ArenaWeidner FieldColorado Springs Pioneers MuseumDowntown Colorado SpringsLoving the Springs celebrates the best of Colorado Springs and elevates the rest.Plug into what’s happening in the Pikes Peak region, learn about awesome people, places and happenings, and explore opportunities to make life here even better.
