The Go-Tober Regional Challenge is here! 🍂

What’s Go-Tober? It’s a way to trade single-passenger driving for a cleaner way to get around.

Swap your solo car ride for a cleaner, greener route through autumn. The North Front Range Metro Planning Organization [MPO] https://nfrmpo.org/ is hosting the challenge to reduce traffic, improve air quality, and encourage sustainable travel here in Northern Colorado.

Join the MPO and create a Ride NoCo Trip Planning account at https://mywaytogo.org/ #/ to sign up for Go-Tober.

• Then, use alternatives to driving alone: walk, bike, roll, carpool, vanpool, telework, or ride transit.
• Log/track your qualifying trips using the RideNoCo Trip Planning Tool.
• Earn opportunities to win local prizes and grand prize drawings throughout October!

The new portion of the north of River Bluffs and Kyger Open Spaces will be closed tomorrow, October 5 - 9 to allow crews to complete concrete and fence work. We anticipate reopening the trail Friday evening, October 9. You will not be able to pass on the trail during construction, please plan your detour during this time and thank you for protecting the newly seeded edges of the trail.

Thank you for your patience and cooperation as we complete this work!
