WHY WALK?
Why walk when you can drive, you ask? The Santa Fe MPO and its member agen-
cies believe that improvements to the community’s “walkability” or the ability to
experience a safe, friendly, accessible and dependable stroll has at its foundation,
quantifiable economic, health and social benefits. These benefits translate into a
higher quality of life for you and your family. But don’t take our word for it, with
over 800 pedestrian surveys and eight regional public meetings we have heard
loud and clear that pedestrian access in and around Santa Fe is a distinct cultural
asset to be both honored and invested in. The good folks at Design Office and their
partners are finalizing the details of the study by mapping your comments and de-
tailing a sidewalk inventory. Look for announcements about the final product at

Santa Fe Trails recently
added a powerful and user
friendly tool to their web-
site. Riders may track bus
location by route in real
time. This gives riders the
added advantage of seeing
where they are in relation
to their desired stops and
the bus. Santa Fe Trails
utilizes RouteMatch Soft-
ware in an effort to in-
crease service reliability.
Once you have reached the
Routematch website you
may click on the bus icon
which relates the Bus # the
direction it is headed,
speed of the bus and time
of each update. Click on
your desired bus stop icon
and departure times are
displayed.
The use of global position-
ing services and mobile phone
applications are making transit
ride-ability more and more
convenient.
Go to:
www.santafenm.gov/transit
and click on “Where’s My Bus?
under Route Match. The
screenshot below gives you a
sampling of what to expect.

stages for the design of the interchange.

The recommended Diverging Diamond Interchange has an estimated cost of $16,172,000. This cost in-cludes the replacement of the I-25 bridges over NM 14 and construction of a multi-use/equestrian trail. By implementing a Diverging Diamond and new I-25 bridges, this interchange will have the capacity and infrastructure to last beyond the planning peri-od for this project. These proposed improvements will greatly improve the safety, capacity, weaving problems, and structural deficiencies associated with the current interchange.

Santa Fe was designated a Metropolitan Planning Or-
ganization (MPO) in 1982 by the federal government
when the population of the metropolitan area
reached 50,000. The Santa Fe 2010 Census Urban-
ized Area Population was 89,284. The MPO Planning
Area covers approximately 25% of Santa Fe County’s
land area and includes 80% of its population
(Planning Area Population = 116,386, Santa Fe Coun-
ty Population = 144,170) and 90% of its employment.
The purpose of the MPO is to create a forum for
transportation decision making in the metropolitan
planning area. The Santa Fe MPO is responsible for:
Facilitating cooperation, consistency, and con-nectivity between all transportation planning ef-
forts within the Santa Fe metropolitan area
Promoting a multi-modal, regional transportation system that is safe and energy/fiscally efficient
Maximizing community connectivity
Serving the mobility needs of all citizens
Existing in harmony with the environment
