Transportation & Sustainability

Why is transportation important to sustainability in Broomfield?

Transportation represents 42% of Broomfield’s GHG emissions, and this pollution is expected to increase as our county reaches its projected 26% growth rate by 2027.

An integrated and well connected 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, cycling, driving, carpooling, or riding public or private transportation. Increasingly, thriving cities have an extensive and expanding transportation network that includes integrated transit, biking, and walking facilities in addition to efficiently operated and maintained roads and trails.

To reduce its transportation emissions, Broomfield will focus on strategies that:

• Reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT) per capita
• Reduce single-occupant vehicle (SOV) travel
• Promote and support electrification
• Improve fuel-efficiency
• Increase access to safe and affordable multimodal transportation and including shared use micro-mobility choices for all ages and abilities
• Support a well connected multimodal network
• Support transportation and land-use planning that promotes equitable and low carbon mobility.
• Promote transit oriented supportive development

Where is Broomfield Right Now?
