Douglas County commissioners are scheduled to consider two agreements Nov. 10 for $1.125 million in state and federal grants for transit-pilot projects. A $125,000 county contribution would bring total project funding to $1.25 million, according to the proposed agreements’ staff report.
The grants include $625,000 from the Colorado Department of Transportation’s Multimodal Transportation and Mitigation Options Fund and $500,000 in Federal Transit Administration Section 5307 funds. The county match would come from Road and Bridge Sales and Use Tax funds already budgeted for transit and mobility programs.
The agreements would provide operating support through June 30, 2027, for pilot projects identified in Douglas County’s Transit and Multimodal Feasibility Study. The staff report says grant funds have been identified to support the Castle Rock expansion of Link On Demand, which began in August 2026.
The Nov. 10 meeting packet lists the agreements for commissioner consideration and recommends approval. The commissioners have not yet acted on the proposal.
