About Mason Corridor
The Mason Corridor is an economic initiative enabled by transit. The five mile north-south byway extends from Cherry Street on the north to south of Harmony Road. The Mason Corridor includes a bicycle and pedestrian trail as well as a Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system, MAX, which will operate in an exclusive transit-only roadway for the majority of the corridor, and offers many opportunities for redevelopment around the transit stations.
MAX is on the Way!
MAX will link major destinations and activity centers along the corridor including the Downtown commercial, Colorado State University, Foothills Mall, and South College retail areas. MAX will operate nearly twice as fast as auto travel along College Avenue, and provide high frequency service every 10 minutes. Future regional transit connections will link to MAX at the new South Transit Center.
The $87 million project is funded 80 percent by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The remaining 20 percent is available from the City of Fort Collins, Downtown Development Authority, CSU/Colorado State University Research Foundation, and Colorado Department of Transportation.
