The Colorado Department of Transportation, Grand Junction and Mesa County are looking into developing conceptual plans for a possible mobility hub in the Grand Valley.
Such a hub would serve as a focal point for residents and visitors to access multimodal transportation options in a central location.
Options for such a hub could include services such as Greyhound, Bustang, Grand Valley Transit, passenger rail, rideshare connections and a slew of nonmotorized transportation, such as biking, bike parking, scooters, e-bikes and access for walkers.
According to CDOT, all of those things are available in the valley, but they are not all tied together. The study could consider a single hub or a system of them.
