BACKGROUND The 2030 Regional Transportation Plan is a comprehensive one-stop shop for transportation planning in our region. The North Front Metropolitan Planning Organization (NFRMPO) has been working closely with local communities, residents and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) to develop a plan that includes both long-range and short-range strategies and projects that lead to a multi- modal transportation system. The financially constrained portion of the plan contains a list of projects that could be built over the next 25 years if the anticipated revenue is realized. This presentation is the kick-off to the second part of the public outreach effort. An initial presentation was made to Council last fall. GENERAL DIRECTION SOUGHT AND SPECIFIC QUESTIONS TO BE ANSWERED The NFRMPO would like to share with Council an overview of the upcoming 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (2030 RTP). This plan will be the guiding document for the next three years in facilitating transportation system development for our region. The 2030 RTP will be incorporated into CDOT's statewide plan. The presentation will cover several key areas: 1. The purpose of the 2030 RTP. 2. Revenues sources for transportation improvements in the North Front Range. 3. Overview of the DRAFT 2030 RTP. 4. The timeline to complete the 2030 RTP. The purpose of this presentation is to give Council an opportunity to ask questions and give input regarding the DRAFT 2030 Regional Transportation Plan.
