Transportation

The Fort Carson Regional Growth Plan builds upon previously completed land use and transportation planning efforts to assess the region’s roadway and transit needs associated with projected travel demand. The Growth Plan will use data on external traffic patterns, off-post road capacity, modes of travel and Fort Carson’s on-post transportation system to inform its analysis.

Because off-post transportation impacts affect multiple jurisdictions, Fort Carson, PPACG, CDOT, El Paso County, and other local and county governments have partnered to assess transportation needs associated with Fort Carson’s growth.

During Phase Two of the Growth Plan, the transportation planning will focus on:
Land-use and transportation planning efforts for El Paso, Fremont, Pueblo and Teller Counties
Refining the PPACG regional travel model to assess the impacts/needs related to the growth of Fort Carson
Evaluating alternate growth scenarios through 2015 to assess how travel demand is influenced by different variables in Fort Carson growth (e.g. troop levels, relocation trends and off-post housing levels)

A Transportation Partnership Group  comprised of representatives from the transportation sector meets regularly to help inform this analysis.
