Join Two Rivers Connect – August 2025

 

Two Rivers Connect invites commuters, employers, and visitors across the Colorado River and Roaring Fork Valleys to explore and adopt new ways of getting around - bike, walk, bus, carpool, vanpool, or work from home. 

 

Why join Two Rivers Connect? 

πŸš— 29,375 cars/day drove through Glenwood in June - a record high.

🚦Traffic has risen 33% on I-70 west of Silt and 23% on CO-82 at S. Glen Ave in the past decade (2013-2023).

πŸ’‘ Half of trips in the United States are under 3 miles - ideal for biking, walking, or public transit. 

🚲 Even small shifts - say, one day a week - in how we get around can go a long way to support a more efficient, flexible, and enjoyable experience moving through our region.

 

This August, find and adopt a new way to roll. Log your trips in the Two Rivers Connect app/website to earn prizes like e-bikes, lift tickets, and gift cards.

 

Here’s how to participate:

  1. Sign up for updates

  2. Download the Two Rivers Connect app or visit the website (available August 4)

  3. Connect with your employer to find carpools, additional incentives, and more

  4. Log your trips - bike, walk, bus, carpool, vanpool, or remote work

  5. Earn prizes like e-bikes, lift tickets, gift cards, and more

 

The platform will be live year-round, with more campaigns to come. Keep tracking your miles and continue earning prizes - even when there isn’t an active campaign.

 

Employers: Contact us to join Two Rivers Connect as an Employer Network to support your team’s commuting options, promote carpooling, access campaign tools, and share custom incentives.
