About the project

This plan builds on the 2014 Transportation Plan and aligns with updates from the 2024 Comprehensive Plan to create a safe, efficient, and connected transportation network.
    Why This Matters
    • Improved Access – Better connections to Ellsworth Air Force Base and major roadways.
    • Safer School Routes – Addressing traffic flow near the Douglas School District.
    • Smart Growth – Supporting business expansion and residential development.
    • Enhanced Mobility – Exploring public transportation improvements for the future.
    Community Involvement

    This plan is shaped by you! Through public input, we’ll identify needs, goals, alternatives, and trade-offs to ensure Box Elder’s transportation system works for everyone.
