I-70 Mountain Corridor Highway Expansion

Highway Expansion - Creating Tomorrows Transportation Problems Today

The Vision of the Colorado Department of Transportation is to enhance the quality of life and the environment of the citizens of Colorado by creating an integrated transportation system that focuses on moving people and goods by offering convenient linkages among modal choices.

The Mission of the Colorado Department of Transportation is to provide the best multi modal Transportation system for Colorado that most effectively moves people, goods and information.

Under the Owens Administration, CDOT has acted only as a Department of Highways, pledging to bring more vehicles, more accidents, more asphalt, more traffic, more construction, more congestion, more noise, more back country sprawl, more road rage and more pollution to the beautiful Colorado High Country.

Clearly a 21st Century multi-modal approach to solving the mountain corridor transportation problem is closer to CDOT’s real Vision and Mission.

Enhancing transit options in the corridor including the use of carpools, vanpools, buses, shuttles, additional park and ride facilities and an elevated rail transit guideway adjacent to or outside the highway alignment, MUST be the final solution for the I-70 mountain corridor. 

Which is the future most consistent with CDOT's Vision?
