Spring 2026 Service Change Proposal for Mountain Metro Transit

The City of Colorado Springs held a meeting on January 22, 2026, to discuss the Spring 2026 service change proposal for Mountain Metro Transit. The meeting focused on planned service improvements aimed at boosting ridership, improving reliability, and expanding access. Key procurement-related updates included the introduction of a zero-fare Route 3 connecting downtown and Manitou Springs, increased frequency on weekend routes 5 and 25, and weekday frequency improvements on routes 10 and 11 serving Pikes Peak State College. Additionally, some routes such as 20 and 36 are being eliminated to optimize resources. The changes are contingent on public feedback collected via an online survey through early February, with final service changes expected to be approved by March 29, 2026, and implemented shortly thereafter.
