ABSTRACT
Mobility represents freedom, control, and access to quality-of-life enablers such as healthcare services, recreation, jobs, and financial stability. Through a case study project in Denver, Colorado, a project team partnered with transportation agencies to develop the 2030 Mobility Choice Blueprint, a collaborative strategy helping to define the region’s mobility future through a more connected, mobile, adaptable, and user-driven network. Using innovative community engagement techniques, the team uncovered residents’ motivations and behaviors to develop an understanding of how mobility ties to quality of life including health and wellness. The research provided a strong foundation for building a relevant, equitable, and resilient future state, as well as helping stakeholder agencies prioritize policy changes and investment over time.
