Intermountain TPR explains how counties feed project priorities into CDOT funding process
Summary
Representatives from the Intermountain Transportation Planning Region (IMTPR) briefed the Lake County Board of County Commissioners on how regional planning, the 2050 long-range plan, the 10-year plan and the STIP relate to funding available through CDOT and the Transportation Commission, and how Lake County can engage to advance local projects.
Dana Wood, mobility director for the Northwest Colorado Council of Governments, Mark Rogers of CDOT and Brian Pettit, chair of the Intermountain Transportation Planning Region, told Lake County commissioners at a work session that the IMTPR collects local project requests, ranks priorities and advises CDOT and the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee (STAC) before the Transportation Commission programs funds.
The IMTPR representatives said the region is finishing a 2050 long-range plan and is developing the related 10-year plan that begins to assign dollars; the four-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP) is the legally constrained document that programs construction funding. "The long-range plan does not have fiscal dollars tied to it," Mark Rogers said. "The 10-year plan starts to have dollars actually tied to it," and the STIP is where those dollars are programmed into construction and development stages.
