• Abstract:
  A review of the transportation in the Front Range region of Colorado by the inter-agency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG) was conducted July 24-26, 2007, on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service (USFS) in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS) and the Intermountain Region (IMR) of the National Park Service (NPS). The review sought to explore opportunities for improving regional connections for urban residents to/from Federal recreation areas, and identify avenues for coordination between Federal land management agencies and transportation planning organizations over the next 15-20 years. The TAG considered extensive information that was provided via briefings from and interactive discussions with transportation planning organizations and other stakeholders in the Front Range, including the Colorado DOT, Colorado State Parks, Denver Regional Council of Governments, Pikes Peak Council of Governments, Pueblo Area Council of Governments, and Colorado Ski Country USA regarding transportation conditions and associated planning activities. The participation of these stakeholders emphasized to the TAG, an interest and willingness to work with Federal lands agencies on transportation issues and concerns within the Colorado Front Range. The TAG review agenda is included in an appendix.
