• Description:
  This study evaluates the statewide economic benefits of future transportation investment in Colorado using available data and benefits studies conducted in other states. Objectives of this study are to provide Colorado stakeholders results consistent with their guidance in the CDOT Economic Benefits of Transportation Research Scoping Study (May 2006) and to identify data needs and other information necessary to perform a future in-depth analysis of benefits by region within the state. This research focuses on the benefits of additional transportation spending above a baseline investment scenario. The scenarios chosen for evaluation represent different levels of investment identified in CDOT's 2030 Statewide Transportation Plan (2030 Plan). The baseline or "Forecast Revenue" investment scenario represents current revenue projections through 2030. The alternative "Sustain Current Performance" scenario represents an additional investment of $48 billion. This is the level of investment necessary to maintain current transportation system performance levels.
