Road work in Boulder city.

We Accept TIPs!

The City of Boulder is applying for TIP funding (Transportation Improvement Project funding) on four projects that will enhance bus, bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure at high-travel corridors around the city:

  • Broadway Transit Priority Intersections Project 
  • 28th Street Multi-Use Path Project 
  • Baseline Road Enhanced Transit Stops and Protected Bike Lanes Project 
  • 30th Street Preliminary Design Project 

Public feedback closes May 9th, but you can learn more by watching short informational videos and view project factsheets on the city website. Then, keep track of the progress of the proposals when the city presents project revisions to the Transportation Advisory Board (TAB) at a public hearing and then to City Council before submitting any project proposals for state funding (Dates TBD).
