CG developed a branding, signage and bike shelter system for the communities along the US 36 corridor. The project focused on improving access to and around stations along the US 36 Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) line, a high-frequency express service between Boulder and Denver. The US 36 communities, seeking to encourage and enhance pedestrian and bicycle navigation, tasked CG with developing a branding and wayfinding system.

Wayfinding tools were developed for station areas, including map kiosks and secure bike shelters, for on-street wayfinding in communities, and for the US 36 bikeway, a greenway connecting Denver to Boulder.

Bike Laws and Bike Safety

Obey Traffic Signals and Signs Cyclists should obey all traffic laws, signs and signals. Your bike is considered to be a vehicle under Colorado state law.

Go with the Flow Never ride against traffic. Ride single file, with the flow of traffic.

Use Hand Signals Signal all turns and stops ahead of time, check over your shoulder, then make your intended move when it is safe to do so.

Yield to PedestriansGive an audible signal when you pass a pedestrian or someone traveling slower than you.

Choose the Best Way to Turn LeftTurn left wisely: look back, signal, move into the left lane and turn; OR ride straight to the far-side crosswalk, turn and wait for the light to change and use the crosswalk.

Watch Out For Opening Car DoorsBe careful for opening doors from parked cars. Motorists can unexpectedly open doors. Ride a car door width away from parked vehicles.

Be Visible at NightAlways use a strong white headlight, rear light and reflector at night or when visibility is poor. Use bike reflectors and reflective clothing. See and be seen!

The RTD bike-n-Ride program provides bike racks on all RTD buses except the 16th Street free mall shuttle and allows passengers to transport their bicycle in the luggage compartment of regional and skyRide buses at designated baggage stops when space is available. For more information, call 303-299-6000 or visit RTD-Denver.com.

Bike Lockers Over 650 lockers are available at 53 transit facility locations throughout the RTD district. Lockers require use of an RTD-issued lock, for a one-time fee of $20 and $30 for a six month lease. For more bike locker information, including locations and availability, call 303.299.2288.

For help planning your bus-bike trip, please call RTD at 303-299-6000 or visit RTD-Denver.com or google.com/transit.
