The Denver Region has received national recognition for its ambitious FasTracks program, which will provide a network of eight rail corridors, along with a freeway bus rapid transit corridor, throughout the urbanized area. A key focus of the project was an evaluation of the current state of planning and development along four existing rail transit corridors operated by the Regional Transportation District -- Central, Southwest, Southeast, and West. The project organized information around themes: (1) housing, (2) accessibility, (3) jobs and economic development, and (4) site development. Using the findings from the research efforts, the study team developed a detailed set of evidence-based recommendations and action steps to help communities and the region evolve vibrant and healthy communities around transit stations.
