Public Transit

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) provides public transit services in Aurora via rail and bus, connecting the region to Aurora. Several transit-oriented developments have been built or are under construction around Aurora's rail stations, featuring pedestrian-oriented, mixed-use development with a mix of residential, retail and office uses.

East Colfax BRT Construction is now extending into Aurora, from Yosemite to I-225:

• Construction will be completed in a single phase, with work occurring simultaneously at both eastbound and westbound stations.
• Traffic control cones and lane closures will be used in active construction zones as work progresses.
• Traffic will remain open in the center lanes of East Colfax Ave. throughout the project.
• Work will progress block by block, with each section expected to take about 3 to 6 months to complete.
• Construction work for the side-running stations will occur within designated work zones that include portions of the sidewalk.
