The Transportation

The Mason Corridor is a five-mile, north-south byway within the City of Fort Collins, which extends from Cherry Street on the north to south of Harmony Road. The Corridor will feature Colorado's first Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) Corridor, known as MAX (Mason Express). BRT is similar to light rail transit and uses environmentally-friendly, modern rubber-tired vehicles. Mason Street and McClelland Drive will accommodate mixed traffic with both BRT vehicles and general motorists. BRT will operate within a new exclusive roadway/guideway between the South Transit Center and north of Horsetooth Road and then again between Drake Road and University Avenue.

BRT will operate faster than auto travel along College Avenue and provides ten minute departures during peak hours. BRT is designed to emphasize speed and convenience with an exclusive guideway and easy boarding. The Mason Corridor BRT will get you there quickly. The new BRT stations will connect the Downtown Transit Center with the South Transit Center and will incorporate high-quality passenger amenities including, real-time bus arrival information and Park & Rides along the corridor.
