7. NEW BUSINESS
a. VMT/Climate Update, Transfort Update – Adelle McDaniel, Kaley Zeisel
Adelle McDaniel, Environmental Services Senior Sustainability Specialist, discussed
Our Climate Future noting it is the integration of three former community plans: the
Climate Action Plan, Energy Policy, and Road to Zero Waste. She specifically noted
two big moves that were raised as part of the public outreach for Our Climate Future:
convenient transportation choices and live, work, play nearby, and noted next moves
are strategies and actions that fall underneath each of the big moves.
McDaniel discussed the relationship between vehicle miles travelled (VMT) and
greenhouse gas emissions over time and noted greenhouse gas emissions are not
increasing as quickly as they once were due to more efficient vehicles; however, VMT
are again increasing since pandemic levels dropped off. She stated the increase in
electric vehicles has yet to help decrease emissions given that the city’s electricity is
not produced from fully renewable sources.
Hart stated a large part of the overall environmental impact of greenhouse gas
emissions is due to large scale industry emissions and asked how those impacts are
being considered in addition to the impacts of individual citizens. McDaniel concurred
that systemic and institutional changes are needed and stated she would address the
topic in the presentation.
Rachline expressed concern about the upward trend in vehicle miles travelled and
asked what is being done to encourage actionable changes and a decrease in car
use. She stated VMT needs to be decreased drastically to reduce greenhouse gas
emissions drastically.
Burtis requested clarification on the VMT versus greenhouse gas emissions data .
McDaniel replied it specifically relates to emissions produced by vehicles owned and
operated by people living in Fort Collins. He stated it would be interesting to see
what percentage of total emissions is accounted for by vehicles. McDaniel replied
transportation accounts for 20-25% of total community emissions and electricity is
approximately 50% due to coal and natural gas still being part of electricity
generation; however, that number is decreasing with the goal of 100% renewable
electricity by 2030.
McDaniel went on to discuss overall community emissions which include electricity,
natural gas, waste produced within city boundaries, transportation within city
TRANSPORTATION BOARD
TYPE OF MEETING – REGULAR
1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 3
boundaries, industrial process and product use, and water emissions. She noted all
goals are compared against the 2005 baseline numbers and the 2020 goal was 20%
reduction, 2026 goal is 50% reduction, and 2030 goal is 80% reduction. She
discussed the impact of the Our Climate Future strategies noting the forecast is that
the community could be at a 76% reduction below 2005 by 2030 by utilizing those
strategies and if things go as planned.
McDaniel outlined the pathways or bundles of next moves to get to the 76% reduction
outlined in Our Climate Future: electricity, buildings, industrial processes,
transportation, waste, and land use.
Rachline asked if objectives exist to get to the 80% reduction number. McDaniel
replied there are a series of strategies within each big move that is part of Our
Climate Future and attempts were made to quantify the impact of each of those
strategies on the overall reduction number. Rachline stated the plan seems to only
reach a 76% reduction, not 80%. She stated more aggressive actions must be taken
in order to reach the 80% number given that the plan only provides strategies to get
to 76%. McDaniel concurred a plan needs to be made to get to 80% and plans and
actions will continue to that end between now and 2030. Rachline stated the only win
would be to reach the stated 80% objective.
Burtis asked if the target goals were set in 2015. McDaniel replied in the affirmative
and stated the baseline numbers were from 2005.
McDaniel noted the estimates on how strategies will impact emissions numbers were
made conservatively and some of the strategies were not quantified given a lack of
confidence in actual impacts. She outlined the next steps under the area of
transportation, including continuing to build bicycle facilities as identified in the Active
Modes Plan.
Chair Brown asked about the definition of transportation demand management.
Iverson replied it is an umbrella term for a lot of the work done to target reduction in
people driving alone in vehicles, including carpooling, vanpooling, transit, walking ,
biking, and working with employers to have them encourage the same actions.
Rachline commented on the numbers indicating building bicycle facilities generates
more avoidance of emissions than other items. McDaniel noted some assumptions
were made around how much people are willing and able to bike around the
community because Fort Collins is already quite bicycle-friendly.
In terms of land use strategies, McDaniel discussed 15 -minute neighborhoods. She
noted there is a great deal of research from other communities about the importance
of the 15-minute neighborhood strategy. Incorporating the concept shortens the
distance between housing a people’s daily needs, reduces building energy use and
water consumption by allowing attached and multi-family housing types, and curbs
sprawl and preserves land to serve other needs and functions such as farming,
TRANSPORTATION BOARD

1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 4
forestry, wilderness, conservation, and carbon sequestration.
McDaniel commented on the strategies that were not quantified, but are still critical,
including travel trainings, school partnerships, a more variable demand transit
system, a regional transit system, increasing density and mixed-uses, and expanding
walkable and accessible infrastructure.
Blochowiak asked what kinds of things are encompassed in bicycle facilities. Iverson
replied it includes all of the bicycle network, including the paved trail system, bike
lanes, and the low-stress bikeway. He stated the next stage is additional protected
bicycle facilities.
Chair Brown discussed Vice Chair Peyronnin’s comments about a study that
indicates installing roundabouts can improve emissions because of more efficient
movement of traffic. She requested additional detail about where something like that
would fit in terms of next moves. McDaniel replied it could fit in the Transportation
Master Plan or as a strategy within Our Climate Future.
Hart noted this presentation was a selection of what is being done to reduce
emissions overall and items were selected based on relationship to the
Transportation Board and its purview. McDaniel concurred with that assessment.
Hart agreed he would like to include roundabouts in the strategies and stated a goal
needs to be creating a community wherein kids can get to school and go places after
school thereby decreasing parent car trips. He also stated 15-minute communities
need to be safe, convenient, and easy. He commented on the importance of making
desired behaviors easier than undesired behaviors.
Rachline concurred with Hart regarding the vehicle miles travelled to and from
schools. She stated she has yet to see specific strategies related to the reduction of
VMT. McDaniel replied reduction in VMT is an intermediate step in the calculations
that were resulting in the emissions numbers.
Kaley Zeisel, Transfort Interim Director, stated Transfort ridership exploded after the
introduction of MAX and it was at an all-time high in 2019. During the pandemic,
service levels were reduced and ridership plummeted, though ridership has been
slowly increasing since 2021 due in part to some return in service, including Friday
and Saturday evening MAX service.
Zeisel noted bus operator staffing levels followed a similar pattern to ridership with a
decrease in operators post-pandemic with the lowest levels in 2022. She stated
Transfort is fully staffed at 108 operators and there are currently 90 -95, though not all
are available for scheduling. Drew Brooks noted many operators opted to retire
during the pandemic and the recruitment to replace them has been a struggle.
Zeisel discussed a national study that analyzed the work force shortage in the transit
industry. She stated the study showed that 96% of the 190 transit agencies reported
TRANSPORTATION BOARD
TYPE OF MEETING – REGULAR
1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 5
experiencing a work force shortage and 84% reported the shortage is affecting the
ability to provide service. The survey also asked agencies and 1,300 current and
former transit agency employees to rank the top reasons for leaving or considering
leaving and it was found that compensation, work schedule, other working conditions,
on the job harassment, and concerns over contracting COVID were the main reasons
listed. Zeisel noted Transfort completed a similar survey and the same causes were
provided; therefore, a wholistic look at the bus operator position and the
implementation of changes that impact these areas of focus has been necessary.
Zeisel discussed the four broad categories Transfort has been working on improving,
including implementing more consistent schedules for operators, hiring an
onboarding and training specialist, providing a new continuing education program,
adding an additional transit supervisor position which allowed for a decrease in
operator to supervisor ratio, increasing the scope and service levels of contracted
security, adding mid-shift breaks for bus operators on long routes, increasing the
starting wage from $20 to $22.50 per hour, reclassifying 14 bus operator positions to
include benefits and guaranteed hours, implementing a hiring and referral bonus
program, and providing free on-site counseling to staff on a bi-weekly basis.
Vice Chair Peyronnin asked what percentage of routes and stops are being serviced
and noted the current services provided are not adequately serving most people’s
needs. He questioned what is being done to increase ridership. Zeisel replied the
goal is to bring back all service and as operators are being added, service levels are
increasing. She noted that even operating with 108 operators, service is at a bare
bones level with difficult schedules for operators. She stated in order to not
exacerbate turnover with operators resigning because of those difficult schedules, it
has been determined that additional operators will be needed to meet full-service
levels in order to make the bus operator position more resilient.
Brooks noted free taxi service has been provided in areas where routes have been
suspended, though it is not as frequent and user friendly as bus service.
Vice Chair Peyronnin asked how that taxi service is advertised and how it is
advertised that riding Transfort is free.
Burtis noted several routes have very low ridership and asked if the correct routes are
being prioritized as service is returning. He also asked if hiring CSU students for
campus routes or running cheaper, smaller buses with non-CDL drivers on lower
ridership routes. Zeisel replied building out the Transit Master Plan by 2040, as is
called for, will take $14.7 million. She noted the recently passed sales tax will provide
some additional revenue, but only in the area of about $5 million. She stated internal
conversations have been held about the most optimal way to deliver service to the
community and how to prioritize Master Transit Plan projects given the known
resources, including budget, operator numbers, assets, and facilities . She stated
TRANSPORTATION BOARD
TYPE OF MEETING – REGULAR
1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 6
students driving buses has been considered and she agreed creative solutions will be
necessary.
Burtis stated it seems some outreach and education about bus service would be
helpful given that it seems to have fallen off the radar for most people. Zeisel replied
it is sometimes difficult to market the service when frequency is lacking and the more
service returns, the easier marketing will be. She stated free fares have recently
been advertised around town on signs and discussions have been held about
expanding Transfort’s social media presence.
Zeisel outlined the number of newly hired employees versus lost employees by year
noting 40% of the bus operator workforce turned over in 2022; however, in 2023,
efforts to improve the position are resulting in decreased separation numbers. She
stated the plan is to refine the bus operator pay plan to be more competitive with
other driver jobs. She noted bringing back full service without additional drivers will
strain bus operators’ schedules in a way that contributes to retention issues.
Zeisel discussed some future Transfort initiatives, including the West Elizabeth bus
rapid transit project which will include a grant-funded roundabout and transit station at
the west end of the line at Overland Trail. She noted the grant-funded 30% design
concluded in 2022 and another grant was received for the 100% design. She stated
the hope is for construction to begin in 2025 or 2026 with service starting in 2027 of
2028. Zeisel discussed the North College MAX extension which will provide
consistent 15-minute frequency on North College.
Zeisel stated micro-transit is a recommendation in the Transit Master Plan and the
FC Moves team recently received a grant to begin a micro-transit study for areas that
are not served by fixed route service. Micro-transit would use shuttles or vans for on-
demand service. Zeisel stated Transfort has a goal of 100% zero-emission vehicles
by 2040 and is continuing to explore the possibility of autonomous vehicles.
Rachline asked if the micro-transit study or service will be occurring at the beginning
of the year. Zeisel replied the grant received is for the study.
Hart stated routes and frequency that were previously relied upon must be returned in
order for him to return as a rider. He outlined the issues with his commute from the
south side of town to campus noting it unreliably takes over an hour on the bus. He
asked if a north-south route is planned for Timberline between Harmony and
Prospect per graphic in the presentation. Brooks replied the graphic is from the
Transit Master Plan and it reflects full build-out of the Plan.
Hart commended the plans that have been discussed and appreciated the
prioritization of drivers. He commented on the importance of first addressing
reliability then frequency.

b. Parking Study – Eric Keselburg, Drew Brooks
Eric Keselburg, Parking Services Manager, stated Council was asked at its October
24th work session whether it supported Parking Services efforts toward development
of a new financial and strategic model and its implementation plan. He commented
on the current downtown parking pricing structure which disincentivizes parking in
preferred long-term locations as the more convenient on-street parking spaces are
free whereas the less convenient parking structure options have associated fees.
This issue also leads to increased traffic congestion and air pollution as people tend
to circle around to find on-street parking.
Keselburg stated Fort Collins is about 57 square miles in size and Parking Services
only proactively manages about six square miles of the entire parking system;
therefore, the rest of the city is reactively patrolled by Fort Collins Police Services
Community Service Officers, though that is not their main focus. He stated Parking
Services manages about 4,800 parking stalls, 3,100 of which are on -street and free,
though time restricted, and 1,700 of which are in parking structures or surface lots.
Keselburg discussed fines for parking violations and outlined on-street parking
occupancy trends. He noted occupancy of over 80% is deemed unhealthy as it leads
to a perception of unavailable parking, and the downtown area reaches those
numbers in several block faces frequently.
Keselburg discussed the Downtown Development Authority’s 2023 parking and travel
habits survey which found the overall vehicle use to get downtown increased from
76% in 2013 to 86% in 2023. Additionally, 51% of respondents in 2013 wanted to
spend two hours or less in the downtown area and only 19% of respondents in 2023
felt the same. It was also found that the number of respondents who circle the block
looking for an ideal space remained about the same between 2013 and 2023.
Keselburg discussed the maintenance funding requirements for the parking
structures and noted the reserves for the Civic Center parking structure will
essentially be depleted after needed repairs. He discussed the Parking Services
revenue sources which include citation issuance, hourly parking rates, and permit
sales. He stated revenues dropped about 95-97% for several months during the
pandemic which led to the need to subsidize revenue with general fund dollars at a
rate that is not sustainable.
Keselburg discussed the advisory committee that was formed to look at a parking
system fit for the future. He outlined the three possible future methodologies,
including curb management, the use of management tools to address peak demand
crunches, and support for broader community goals such as Our Climate Future. He
stated some of the Parking Study objectives were to update the framework for
managing downtown parking, create some metrics that show when and how to
expand and refine the menu of options for all different parking users, understand
TRANSPORTATION BOARD
TYPE OF MEETING – REGULAR
1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 8
what resources are needed now and, in the future, and to share and build consensus
with decision-makers. He noted a successful parking system will support a vibrant,
thriving downtown economy, will be welcoming and easily understandable for
everyone, including first-time users, will provide multiple options for every user type,
will leverage assets to incentivize longer-term parking to move off street into the
parking structures, will rely on customer choice versus penalization, and will match
industry standards for an effective parking management system in the downtown
area. Keselburg outlined the Parking Study’s guidance and objectives which would
include a different governance model where stakeholders and vested partners
provide input on pricing. He stated additional research is planned for 2024 that will
result in options for Council in the late summer or early fall.
Vice Chair Peyronnin asked if there is any support for possibly placing parking
outside of the downtown area and relying on things like the MAX to bring people
downtown thereby encouraging people to walk around the area rather than drive to it.
Brooks replied that is a piece of the TDM plan being worked on by the FC Moves
team. He noted there is ample parking already existing along the MAX line though
frequencies and evening service will need to be restored before full advantage can be
taken of that parking.
Burtis stated the uptick in the number of vehicles driving to downtown is likely partially
caused by the lack of bus service, but he stated it seems as though bike share is also
decreasing and that could be helped by increasing permeability as it is difficult to
cross downtown on a bike. Additionally, he stated there are problems with people
parking in bike lanes, particularly on the west side of town, and increased
enforcement would be helpful.
Rachline noted much larger cities have worked to keep vehicles out of downtown
areas and suggested people’s mindsets could be changed if shown alternatives to
driving single-occupancy vehicles.
8. BOARD MEMBER REPORTS
Chair Brown reported on observing people driving into oncoming traffic to access the left
turn lane on Prospect Road.
Vice Chair Peyronnin commented on the great deal of construction around the city. He
reported on the recent Planning and Zoning Commission work session during which the
East Mulberry Corridor Plan, Willox Farm development, Cherry Street mixed-use project,
and the Polestar development on West Elizabeth were discussed. He noted there will be a
bike trail coming from Polestar that will connect to the planned West Elizabeth MAX
roundabout. Additionally, he stated the Commission is working on establishing a q uiet zone
and during his presentation to the Commission, mentioned the discussion the
Transportation Board had about roundabouts and how they should be the default for new
developments.
TRANSPORTATION BOARD

1 1 /1 5 /2023 – MINUTES Page 9
Burtis reported on using transit on a recent visit to Washington, D.C. He stated there are
still cars in the bike lane along City Park Avenue and stated better enforcement needs to
occur.
Hart reported on seeing water leaking in the underpass on College that goes to Redtail
Grove and suggested the concrete may need to be examined. He also commented on the
number of people parking in bike lanes. He stated he has reported those on Access Fort
Collins and encouraged others to do the same. He suggested the City should look at
adding bike lanes to the intersection of Stuart and Lemay or improving the awkward section
of Spring Creek Trail in that area. He stated he has observed how much less stressful it is
to not ride on streets but instead on trails.
Drydahl reported on icy conditions on the Spring Creek Trail near the Rolland Moore tennis
courts following the recent snow. She also reported on friend being left stranded after a
CSU football game due to the lack of MAX service. She commented on the need for safer
crossings across Harmony and on having the Power Trail connect. She requested a future
presentation about the future of electric vehicle charging stations in the city. She also
asked if there is any type of encouraged method for bikes in bike lanes to move out of the
way for emergency vehicles. Hart suggested moving to the sidewalk.
Blochowiak also commented on issues with parking in bike lanes and suggested perhaps
stripping them or painting them a different color. She also reported on observing a rusty,
dull mirror on the Poudre Trail and questioned when and how often they get replaced.
9. OTHER BUSINESS
a. Bicycle Advisory Committee Report
Iverson provided Gavaldon’s report on the recent Bicycle Advisory Committee
meeting during which the Committee heard a presentation on the Mulberry Corridor
and discussed the Work Plan for the new Active Modes Advisory Board. He noted
the BAC will be dissolving and the Active Modes Advisory Board will begin in the
spring.
b. City Council 6-Month Calendar Review
Iverson reported Council will be considering the East Mulberry Plan and the Master
Street Plan updates at it’s next meeting.
c. Staff Liaison Report
