The Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) is presenting a draft Public Participation Plan for public comment. The plan is designed to identify how PPACG will solicit input from the public while developing plans and projects. Conducting a substantive and well-planned community process is essential to determine appropriate plans and increases community support for and ownership of goals and projects.

Details on the draft Public Participation Plan are available here during the comment period of April 1, 2019 – May 15, 2019.  The comments will be used during the approval process by staff and by the PPACG Board of Directors.

Comments and questions should be directed to Jason O’Brien, Transportation Planner, through physical mail at 15 South 7th Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80905 or e-mail at jobrien@ppacg.org.

Transportation planning for the Pikes Peak region is a continuing, cooperative and comprehensive process to help ensure mobility, safety, and efficiency in our transportation system. The planning process provides the information, tools, and community outreach needed to improve transportation system performance. It includes extensive coordination with federal, state, and local agencies, as well as ongoing outreach to stakeholders throughout our planning area.

The boxes below link to pages describing some of the transportation department’s major projects and tasks, including: the Long Range Transportation Plan; the Small Area Forecast; Non-Motorized Transportation and Transit (Walk-Bike-Ride); the Transportation Improvement Program (TIP); and the Unified Planning Work Program (UPWP). Also see our list of frequently asked questions about Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) and transportation planning.
