East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit – On Track for a January 2028 Launch
Aurora’s long‑awaited East Colfax Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line is moving ahead on schedule, with full construction slated to wrap up in January 2028. Once the final track is laid, residents from the bustling Aurora Mall district to the historic Aurora Municipal Center can expect a sleek, high‑frequency bus service that cuts travel times by up to 30 percent.
Why the excitement? The 9‑mile BRT corridor will feature dedicated lanes, off‑board fare‑collection, and modern stations with real‑time arrival displays—making the daily commute smoother and more reliable for Aurora’s growing workforce. The project also supports the city’s green‑mobility goals, offering a low‑emission alternative that eases congestion on East Colfax Boulevard.
Local businesses are already gearing up for the increased foot traffic, and developers see the BRT as a catalyst for new mixed‑use projects along the corridor. For commuters, the new service will connect seamlessly with the existing RTD light rail at the Aurora Station, the A‑Line, and several major bus routes, creating a truly integrated transit network.
Stay tuned for community outreach events, station‑preview tours, and the official ribbon‑cutting ceremony planned for early 2028. The East Colfax BRT is set to transform how Aurora moves—making our city more connected, greener, and ready for the future.
