Metro Vision

Through Metro Vision, cities and counties throughout the region work to preserve what’s great about our past, protect what we love about the Denver we live in today, and come together to create a better future for ourselves, our children, and the people who will come to join us here. Through the regional plan, we'll safeguard for coming generations the region’s many desirable qualities by becoming active participants in planning for our present needs with an eye toward our desired future.

Denver Regional Visual Resources

It’s been said that data drives decisions. That’s true, but raw data can often be difficult to interpret. To help you see the picture more clearly, DRCOG has created Denver Regional Visual Resources (DRVR), or “driver” for short. Take a look at some of our most interesting data, presented in an interactive visual format.

Area Agency on Aging

Meeting the challenges of a rapidly growing older adult population in a constrained funding environment requires an innovative and integrated approach. As the Area Agency on Aging for the region, DRCOG is responsible for planning and funding the delivery of services. In addition, we provide help for people with disabilities and offer the most comprehensive regional resource for aging information and issues in Network of Care. We also lead the way in advocacy, fighting to make life better for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.

Transportation Planning

The transportation system is integral to the growth and development elements of Metro Vision. The system both affects, and is affected by, the location and type of development that occurs. DRCOG establishes guidelines, sets policy and allocates funding in the area of transportation and personal mobility as a cornerstone to making life better for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.
