06:00 PM -- Briefing from the City of Durango
Ms. Blake discussed how public transit is a large economic driver for the state, noting that Colorado provides more rural transit trips than any other state in the nation. She said that these trips provide residents access to work and shopping, promote tourism, and allow communities to thrive. She noted that local governments need access to funding to continue to provide local transit services. She discussed the importance of sustainable and multi-modal transportation options within communities, and how agriculture is a stronghold of our communities that also relies on the state's transportation network.
