Connecting Denver's Stadium District Via Equitable Multimodal Transportation

Game days at sporting venues pose a significant dilemma for stadium officials and local jurisdictions alike, with local arterial roads and parking facilities congested by large crowds of game attendees. Public transit is one of many options to alleviate road congestion and ease nerves, but providing robust service to diverse local venues throughout the sporting calendar presents a major logistical challenge. Participants in this mobile workshops learn about the City of Denver's multimodal transportation plan, planning processes for game day parking and operations, and the Denver Regional Transportation District's existing rail and bus connections. Presenters highlight challenges faced by local jurisdictions looking to integrate newer transportation technologies and trends, along with innovative ways to connect stadium sites with their associated downtowns and greater metropolitan areas. Apply lessons learned to other locales seeking to provide better accessibility options for their own sporting or other large-event venues.
