Help guide the 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan

News

The Denver Regional Council of Governments is working on the 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan and we want to hear from you!

DRCOG has been busy this spring developing and testing different scenarios to inform the plan. The scenarios were developed based on your input and feedback from our committees, advisory groups and Board of Directors.

Please review the scenario planning results and tell us what you think the Denver region’s transportation investment priorities should be by visiting the new online engagement site. There, you’ll find a short video explaining the results, a budget game to play and a quick questionnaire. Get your feedback in by Friday, June 19.

Your input will help guide the development of the plan. If you have any questions about the plan or survey, please contact Lisa Houde, Public Engagement Specialist, at lhoude@drcog.org or Jacob Riger, Long-range Transportation Planning Manager, at 303-480-6751 or jriger@drcog.org.

DRCOG Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) – May 15, 2020

Transit Advocates

The focus of much of the May TAC meeting was on next steps for developing the 2050 Metro Vision Regional Transportation Plan (MVRTP). DRCOG staff shared the proposed major project types/categories for the 2050 MVRTP Priority Investment Framework: air quality regionally significant roadway capacity projects, air quality regionally significant rapid transit capacity, multimodal safety, active transportation, regional transportation operations and technology, and freight and goods movement. Staff also shared information related to identifying and soliciting proposed fiscally constrained candidate projects and what the process for choosing projects might look like. The TAC will have continued conversations soon about these next steps due to approaching deadlines for the plan to be completed. TIP Covid 19 impacts were also discussed as was DRCOG’s upcoming Federal Planning Certification Review.
