About

We believe that human dignity should be the guiding principle for the design of our transportation system so that everyone can thrive and connect to what matters most.

We work to connect decision-makers and Denver residents with diverse perspectives, timely information, and practical solutions to reduce our city’s dependence on cars and design communities that prioritize people.
