Flatiron Flyer U.S. 36 Bus Rapid Transit
U.S. 36 Bus Rapid Transit at a glance ■ The Flatiron Flyer bus rapid transit (BRT) service is part of RTD’s 2004 voter-approved FasTracks plan to expand transit across the Denver metro region. ■ The line encompasses 18 miles of express and high-frequency bus service between downtown Denver and Boulder, serving Westminster, Broomfield, Superior and Louisville. ■ The line's six stations include U.S. 36 Sheridan (formerly U.S. 36 Westminster Center); U.S. 36 Church Ranch; U.S. 36 Broomfield; U.S. 36 Flatiron; U.S. 36 McCaslin; and U.S. 36 Table Mesa. BRT vehicles will continue on to the Downtown Boulder Station and to the Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station from Table Mesa. ■ BRT elements improve travel time, reliability and customer experience. These elements include express lane extensions, queue jumps at highway ramps, enhanced shelters with canopies, ticket-vending machines and large digital monitors with bus arrival information. ■ The Flatiron Flyer BRT offers riders their choice of express and all-station service.
Project overview 2001 BRT project began as part of the U.S. 36 Major Investment Study on BRT and commuter rail technologies. 2006-2010 The project's first phase was the first element of the FasTracks program to be completed and included new bus pullouts and a pedestrian bridge at U.S. 36 McCaslin; a new Park-n-Ride and bus pullouts at U.S. 36 Church Ranch; and a new Park-n-Ride, bus pullouts and pedestrian bridge at U.S. 36 Broomfield. 2013-2015 The Colorado Department of Transportation, in partnership with RTD, built the express lanes project. Extension of the express lanes between Federal Boulevard to Table Mesa Drive is underway. The project also includes bus bypass lanes at Sheridan, Church Ranch, McCaslin and Flatiron; transit signal priority at intersections; and BRT vehicles. The first milestone for this phase of the project was the opening of the pedestrian bridge and bus pullouts at Table Mesa in 2013. 2016 RTD’s BRT service opened to the public January 3, 2016.
