Quality of Life 2006 Baseline Report
The Quality of Life Study (QoL)is a long-term study to determine how existing and future transit station areas, rapid transit corridors and the Denver region change during all phases of FasTracks implementation. This effort is an annual data collection effort that results in trends in four key areas: mobility, environment, economic activity, and land use. This is the first report for the QoL Study and it summarizes the information against which future data will be compared. The QoL Study will continue to collect data throughout the life of the FasTracks program. Future reports will demonstrate early impacts of the program in the years before and during construction, provide a high-level summary of the program's impacts following project openings, and develop trend lines for key measures that will allow FasTracks' effects to be more easily identified in the long term.  To read the report click here.
