As the city of Aurora continues to grow, improving and maintaining transportation infrastructure remains a top priority.

In 2018, the Aurora City Council approved funding for more than two dozen transportation priority projects based on congestion reduction, first- and last-mile station connections, multi-modal connectivity, safety and cost per daily trip served.

Projects target roadways, intersections and sidewalks, and are slated for completion by 2022.
