PPMC History

Buses waiting at the Citadel Mall transfer station

Established in 1997 to improve local public transportation, PPMC, originally Peak Mobiltiy 21, organized when El Paso County discussed ending support for transit. Through strong community leadership and one failed initiative in 1999, PPMC has been the leader in advocacy for increased regional multi-modal transportation.
Working with business and community leaders PPMC played a key role in the success of the 2004 RTA initiative creating a dedicated funding source for public transit as well as additional dollars for roadway and bridge infrastructure and roadway maintenance.
The Pikes Peak region will grow by another 200,000 people in the next 25 years. Due to the advocacy of PPMC, transit will be part of the solution to future transportation problems.
