Transportation

Durango's Transportation & Development Patterns Sustainability Principles

  • All members of, and visitors to, our community have access to a fully connected and accessible transportation network that provides outstanding transit, bicycle, and pedestrian options throughout Durango and its surrounding areas.
  • Individuals and organizations choose transit, bicycle, pedestrian, various other transportation methods, or zero-emissions vehicles instead of driving alone in traditional fuel-powered vehicles.

Durango's Transportation & Development Patterns Sustainability Objectives

  • Multimodal Transportation: Create a fully connected transportation network that provides for safe, convenient, and enjoyable transportation that is affordable and accessible to all Durango residents and visitors.
  • Vehicle Emissions & Electrification: Reduce emissions associated with vehicular travel by preparing for and accelerating a shift to electric and zero-emissions vehicles and reducing wasteful behaviors.
  • Community Design: Structure city code and policies to encourage dense, mixed-use development that minimizes greenhouse gas emissions and supports equitable and sustainable options to get around and experience Durango.
