  • TCRP Report 37: a Handbook
    Case Study 5 Transfort Fort Collins, Colorado Compared to You A 22-bus system operated by the City of Fort Collins, Colorado, Transfort serves a growing city of 92,000, surrounding communities and the Colorado State campus. Designed almost twenty years ago to serve two primary markets – university students and transit dependents – the system was designed to try to serve as many of the potential origin and destination points as possible. "The system was designed to serve the entire area from the prairies to the city center. You could get to almost anywhere in the Fort Collins area but not quickly or frequently, and that was the problem." John Daggett, General Manager Though there were apparent shortcomings to this method, the system operated in its original configuration for approximately ten years. Ridership grew enough that the decision was made to make some major capital investments in the operation. As part of this program, a full-scale Transit Development Plan was undertaken. Until 1989, the system had conducted no market research and relied primarily on ridership counts and unsolicited passenger comments to determine what types of service modifications were necessary. The system's transit development plans were based on the same informal information, as well as normal political input. Their Research Program: Taking a Look At the Entire Operation The city decided to take a bottom-up look at the entire operation, including a major market research effort to look at what riders and nonriders wanted from the system. A multi-tiered research effort was conducted, including: ! Traditional rider counts and local metropolitan planning organization data.
