FY 2007 through FY 2012
TRANSPORTATION IMPROVEMENT PROGRAM
for the
Colorado Springs Urbanizing Area
 

As the recognized Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Colorado Springs Urbanizing Area, the Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments is responsible for carrying out the metropolitan transportation planning process. One of the primary responsibilities of a Metropolitan Planning Organization is the development of a metropolitan transportation improvement program. The FY-2007 through FY-2012 Transportation Improvement Program (2007-2012 TIP) contains over 60 transportation projects for which federal financial assistance in the federal fiscal years 2007-2012 is being sought. All state, local and privately funded transportation projects that are expected to be completed within this time period and that have a regionally significant impact on air quality are also included. All projects that are to be implemented within the six years of the 2007-2012 TIP are consistent with expected revenues totaling in excess of $600,000,000.

The 2007-2012 TIP was developed in cooperation with the Colorado Department of Transportation and operators of public transportation in accordance with 23 CFR 450.324 using the seven planning factors required by the Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century and is consistent with the 2030 Regional Transportation Plan, its congestion management system, and the Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan for the Colorado Springs Attainment / Maintenance Area. Over 30 public meetings were held to provide citizens, local and state public agencies, representatives of transportation agencies, and other interested parties opportunities to assist in the development of and provide comment on the 2007-2012 TIP prior to its approval.

A determination was made that the projects identified in the 2007-2012 TIP conform to the emissions budget identified in the Carbon Monoxide Maintenance Plan For the Colorado Springs Attainment / Maintenance Area as approved by the State of Colorado on February 15, 2004 and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
