Connecting Aurora: Our Multimodal Transportation Master Plan
Let’s build the future of Aurora transportation together!
Your feedback is critical in guiding the development of Connecting Aurora, the city's first-ever citywide multimodal transportation master plan that will identify projects, policies and programs to be implemented over the next five to 20 years and beyond.
Through 2025, the city is examining how to better connect our residents, employees and visitors to various destinations in Aurora. The resulting plan will propose improvements throughout our city that offer safer and more sustainable and convenient transportation options for everyone who walks, rolls, bikes, takes transit or drives to work, shopping, school, and parks, etc.
There will be several online and in-person opportunities for the community to engage and provide input throughout the planning process.
The first phase of public engagement has been extended through May 31. A self-guided online meeting, survey and interactive map are available below (scroll down to see).
Thanks to everyone who attended our four open houses in April! Stay tuned for information about future open houses and other input opportunities.

- Freight is an integral part of transportation in the city.
- Aurora’s industrial and commercial hubs are co-located along the I-70 and freight rail corridors providing efficiency and consistency to the mobility of freight.
- Approximately two-thirds of the Colorado’s freight traffic moves through the Denver-Aurora region.
-
Various types of freight vehicles use city streets for different reasons:
- To make deliveries to homes and businesses.
- To haul garbage, fuel, and construction-related goods.
- Understanding the interactions of these vehicles with everyday road users is an important part of developing this plan.

- Reimagine underused spaces to support community gathering and events, including additional outdoor dining.
Multimodal safety and connections- Enhance connections between transportation modes with larger spaces for transit stops and amenities.
- Provide well-lit and accessible spaces.
Ecology, nature, and climate- Cool streets, reduce stormwater runoff, and decrease pollutants.
