With the large number of employees and visitors expected on the Fitzsimons campus in the very near future, you may be wondering what you can do to avoid the parking crunch. Riding transit is one way to avoid the hassles of traffic and parking, not to mention that it's easier on the environment than single occupancy vehicle (SOV) travel.   The Fitzsimons campus is served by a number of RTD routes, allowing for access from all directions.

Routes serving Fitzsimons:

• 15 - East Colfax (East-West route)
• 15L - East Colfax Limited (East-West route) Note: Limited buses only stop at selected bus stops along a Local route to provide faster service. In some cases, they take shortcuts that bypass congested areas.
• 20 - 20th Avenue (East-West route)
• 121 - Peoria Crosstown (North-South route)
• DM - Boulder/Fitzsimons - Regional route

Did you know? Each year, public transportation use in the U.S. saves 1.4 billion gallons of gasoline. This represents almost 4 million gallons of gasoline per day. Each year, public transportation use saves the equivalent of 34 supertankers of oil, or a supertanker leaving the Middle East every 11 days. Each year, public transportation use saves the equivalent of 140,769 service station tanker truck trips clogging our streets each year. Public transportation use saves the equivalent of 300,000 fewer automobile fill-ups every day.

• The typical public transit rider consumes on average one half of the oil consumed by an automobile rider.

Why you should take transit: Health: you get a fitness walk to and from the bus stop. Take a Time Out: it's precious, so enjoy doing nothing and re-charge your batteries. You'll already have had some "down" time, free from the stress of your commute, so you can enjoy your time as soon as you get home. Power Naps: sneak a few extra winks on your way to work or school.

4. Time Management: catch up on your reading or write out your grocery or to-do lists.



5. Environment: leaving your vehicle at home results in fewer greenhouse gas emissions and a healthier community.



6. Efficiency: 50 people riding one bus is better than each person in 50 separate cars.



7. Relaxation: ride relaxed, with a chauffeur you can trust.



8. Comfort and Convenience: a warm bus beats a cold car and icy windshield
   during the winter.



9. Stress Release: you don't have to deal with road rage and impatient or
   unskillful drivers.



10. Economy: no parking fees or fuel costs (and your vehicle will last longer).
