The Colorado Transportation Investment Office (CTIO) Board of Directors convened on September 17, 2025, to discuss various updates and future plans regarding transportation initiatives in the state. The meeting began with a note that Director Moran was excused, followed by a review of public comments. While no in-person comments were made, written feedback was acknowledged, with appreciation expressed for the thoroughness of the responses provided.
The Vice Chair, Gutierrez, initiated the director's report by highlighting the establishment of a joint service oversight committee. This committee, which held its first meeting at the Regional Transportation District (RTD) headquarters, is now officially operational following the signing of an intergovernmental agreement (IGA). Deborah Johnson, the general manager of RTD, was elected as chair, with Herman Stockinger serving as vice chair. The committee plans to meet monthly, focusing on transparency by creating a dedicated webpage for agendas and meeting notes.
In addition to the joint service updates, the board discussed preparations for an upcoming retreat and an October road trip. The draft agenda for the retreat was circulated, and members were encouraged to provide feedback. The logistics for the road trip, including travel arrangements to Glenwood Springs, are being coordinated closely with CDOT. The board members confirmed their attendance, and discussions are ongoing regarding the necessity of a board meeting during the trip.
Overall, the meeting emphasized collaboration and transparency in transportation planning, with a focus on upcoming events and the importance of in-person dialogue among board members. Further updates are expected as logistics are finalized for the October road trip and the retreat.
