Colorado Springs Utilities
Colorado Springs Utilities is an important part of the community, providing a wide range of utility services. The company supports the economic development of Colorado Springs by providing electricity, natural gas, water, and wastewater. The company also offers customer assistance programs to help those who are struggling financially. The Colorado Springs Utilities rate increase is effective starting July 1, 2017.
Colorado Springs Utilities is warning customers about a potential data breach that may have occurred last month. Customers’ names, email addresses, and phone numbers may have been stolen. The company first discovered the breach on July 6 and said it was the result of an unauthorized party accessing its database. Although the company claims no sensitive financial information was stolen, the breach is still a concern.
Bustang
The Bustang Colorado Springs Local Service is an intercity bus service that runs on weekdays, connecting the cities of Colorado Springs and Fort Collins. Initially, it connected these two cities via Denver, but it has since expanded to Grand Junction, Gunnison, and Alamosa. This is Colorado’s first state-run bus service and is expected to have ninety-six thousand riders per day by 2021. In the coming years, the company plans to expand its service to include more routes.
As the state’s population is predicted to rise by nearly two million by 2040, this transit service is expected to help alleviate traffic congestion. While it is not perfect, Colorado has seen improvement in its transit system. The state’s largest transit agency, the Colorado Department of Transportation, is working to double the number of buses to meet the projected population growth.
Outrider
A new local bus service is opening Monday, with routes running between Colorado Springs and Pueblo. The new service will allow travelers to connect to other parts of Colorado, including Denver and Grand Junction. It will accept cash only, and passengers can buy tickets at the Park-n-Ride stops along the way.
The new service is designed to meet the transportation needs of senior citizens, people with disabilities, and those who don’t have their own transportation. The service will provide options for trips to and from rural communities, medical appointments, and more, while connecting to the broader transportation network.
