Event Details
The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) will hold a public meeting in conjunction with their quadrennial review of the transportation planning process in the Denver-Aurora metro area as administered by the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG).
The Fixing America’s Surface Transportation (FAST) Act of 2015 requires the FHWA and the FTA to review and certify the transportation planning process in metropolitan areas with populations of 200,000 or more every four years.

This public meeting is held to provide interested parties an opportunity to express comments on the transportation planning process and how it is addressing the transportation needs of the Denver-Aurora metropolitan area.
Major elements of the review include, but are not limited to, the organization and management of the transportation planning process, cooperation between the Colorado Department of Transportation, DRCOG, RTD, and other partners, federal planning factors, public participation, congestion management process, plan development, project prioritization and selection, programming, monitoring and evaluation, financial planning and accountability, civil rights, freight planning, air quality, safety, travel demand modeling and forecasting, intelligent transportation systems, and the management and operations of the transportation network.
