Transportation

Durango takes pride in its on-going development as a “multimodal” community – or a town where one doesn’t necessarily need a car to get around.

The City of Durango has developed an extensive public transportation system within the City limits, which includes the big red trolleys and small buses, all donning the Durango “T” logo. Stops are scattered throughout town, but all routes include the Durango Transit Center, 250 W. 8th St. in the heart of Downtown Durango. In addition to providing a hub for local connections, it also serves as a regional transit facility for all of Southwest Colorado, including the Ignacio Road Runner and Greyhound.

Durango, given its “connectivity,” was named a “Bicycle Friendly Community” by the League of American Wheelmen in Washington DC. Following an audit, the organization ranked Durango at the Silver level. Essentially, one can access most every corner of the city on a bicycle, including the miles of soft surface recreational trail heads within or just outside city limits.

Walking remains a time-honored mode of transportation, and Downtown Durango is indeed pedestrian-friendly, with just about every retail necessity within a few blocks’ walk.
