Round one of public outreach for the Broomfield Transit Study has concluded

The first round of public engagement for the Broomfield Transit Study has concluded and was a huge success. With a combined virtual and in-person approach, the project has been able to reach over 3,000 people through pop-up events, surveys, website updates, one-on-one interviews and focus group meetings. Thanks to all who provided their input and feedback. The project team will analyze this information over the coming months to help inform the study recommendations.

Over 2,500 people visited the project website - 56 feedback pins were added to the Transit Input Map and over 500 people took the online survey.

In addition to online engagement, the project team held 18 pop-up events across the community at locations and events including Broomfield FISH, The Refuge, Broomfield Community Center, Broomfield Workforce Center, Broomfield & US 36 Station, Broomfield Farmers Market, Bike to Work Day, Summer Concerts at Midway Park and Anthem Community Park, the Depot Museum, National Night Out, Garden Center Apartments, Broomfield Days and the Living in Balance Aging Well Expo. Over 450 people engaged with the project team at these events and shared their thoughts about current transit service and ways that the system could better meet their needs.

Three focus groups with representatives from community organizations or advocates serving older adults, Veterans, individuals with disabilities, youth and lower-income families were attended by 34 representatives who provided insights into the needs of their clients.

Two surveys were also completed in the first round of engagement: one online open community survey and one targeted, statistically valid survey. Over 900 people participated in the survey efforts.

Thank you again to everyone who took the time to participate. Your feedback will guide the recommendations of the study and help improve transit options in Broomfield. The second round of public engagement is planned for the Spring of 2025 where participants will be able to provide feedback on the draft study recommendations.
