What’s Going On?

The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) has updated the Region’s Transportation Plan. The yearlong effort involved citizens in the development of the Region’s complete transportation system through the year 2030. The 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) will establish priorities for all forms of travel in the urbanized area of the Pikes Peak Region. Among issues to be addressed are:
  • Safety for all modes of transportation
  • Springs Transit/bus systems
  • Truck routes
  • Bicycle and pedestrian facilities
  • Corridor preservation
  • Rail systems
  • Mobility and accessibility throughout the Region for all of its citizens
  • Revenue resources for funding improvements
  • Transportation for persons with disabilities and elderly persons 
  • I-25 and Powers Boulevard capacity improvements
  • Impacts of population and job growth on the transportation system
  • Increasing efficiency of the existing transportation system and managing congestion
  • Maintenance of the existing system
  • New roadways and freeways
Why is the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan Needed?

As a condition for receiving Federal transportation funds to implement transportation system projects in the Pikes Peak Region, a 20-year long-range transportation plan must be prepared and updated every three years.  In November 2001, the Region approved it latest long-range transportation plan, Destination 2025: A Mobility Plan for the Pikes Peak Region.  

How Will the Public be Involved?

Public involvement will be interwoven throughout the plan development process. A public involvement plan has been prepared that describes the various methods PPACG will employ to encourage public participation in the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan development process. For details, click below:
