Mountain Metropolitan Transit (MMT) has announced a series of proposed changes to its public transit services, aiming to enhance transportation options in the Pikes Peak Region. If approved, these changes will be implemented starting March 29, 2026.

Among the main proposals, Route 3 would become zero-fare and see an increase in weekday daytime frequency from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes. Route 5 is set for increased weekend daytime service, also moving from a 30-minute to a 15-minute interval. Route 10’s weekend service would improve from hourly to every half hour, with new Saturday evening trips added at an hourly rate. Similarly, Route 11 would double its weekend frequency from once per hour to twice per hour.

Other notable adjustments include the elimination of Route 20 on weekends, with expanded service on Routes 10 and 11 intended to meet existing demand. Weekend daytime frequency for Route 25 would increase from every half hour to every fifteen minutes. The ZEB Downtown Shuttle is expected to have a slight reduction in weekday frequency, changing from seven- to ten-minute intervals.

Additional changes involve adding two stops near Uintah St. and 17th St. on Route 17 and adjusting the last trip on Route 33 so it ends at Dillon Mobility Hub for better rider access. Furthermore, Route 40 will operate year-round with extended weekday hours when other routes are running.

MMT is seeking input from riders and community members regarding these proposed changes. Feedback can be submitted through an online survey available at MMTRANSIT.COM or by calling Customer Service at 719-385‑7433 during business hours (Monday–Friday, 8 a.m.–5 p.m.). The deadline for submitting comments is February 5, 2026.

“MMT encourages all riders and community members to review the proposed changes and share their input to help shape the future of transit in the Pikes Peak Region,” MMT stated.

Further information about these proposals can be found on MMTRANSIT.COM.
