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?
🚗 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).
💡 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:
-
Download the Two Rivers Connect app or visit the website (available August 4)
-
Connect with your employer to find carpools, additional incentives, and more
-
Log your trips - bike, walk, bus, carpool, vanpool, or remote work
-
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.

Our Community Listens is a three-day communications skills class offering a transformation learning experience to strengthen relationships, align teams, and build stronger communities.
You will:
- Examine your behavioral tendencies and how to better communicate with others
- Explore how the Communication Cycle forms the foundation of your interpersonal communication
- Learn how to listen to connect with others
- Appreciate the impact your nonverbal behavior has on your verbal communication
- Develop a more effective way to handle confrontation
- See and celebrate the good in others
The way we teach is unique. Our facilitators teach from experience as opposed to only delivering information. We have intentional curriculum that continuously loops through...
- Enlightenment (personal insights)
- Equipping (practical tools), and
- Empowerment (application and sustainment)
We will start every day at 8:30am and end each day by 4:30pm local time. The modules build on each other. It is imperative that you attend each day in its entirety.
Adults ages 18 and older are welcome. Family members are discouraged from attending together.
