Consultant for Planning Study of Areas of Persistent Poverty

In general this project will consist of a consultant to assist the City with a study for a modernized route system and an hourly commuter shuttle to the Pueblo Airport Industrial Complex. The project is aimed at providing efficient workforce transportation benefiting economically disadvantaged individuals. A commuter shuttle would serve as an efficient form of transportation for economically disadvantaged individuals and provide easy access to an area with numerous employment opportunities. The City of Pueblo currently operates its fixed-route service via a single downtown transfer center. This project aims to improve the existing condition of the transit system by making routes more efficient, reducing time on board for riders, and allowing the system to carry more riders. The City anticipates that increased efficiency and viability of transit revisions will increase ridership, especially for persons who do not use the service now because of long times on board buses. In summary, Pueblo Transit is seeking a ​Bus Route analysis model, with a route costing model included, that provides a gap analysis for lacking areas in the corridor for both employers and employees.
