Transportation plan to focus on maintenance, safety, options
The Colorado Transportation Commission approved three major priorities as it develops the state's 10-yr plan - saving lives, fixing what we got and expanding options.
Highways & infrastructure
What if we could build a future where cars, highways and outdated infrastructure don’t dominate our lives?
Which highway and infrastructure projects our government spends money on can shape our communities and have a direct impact on the quality of our lives. But far too often we are cut out of those decisions, or lack the information we need to make sure bad projects are stopped, and the right investments get made. Together we can make sure our leaders are making the right choices, and building a better future for all of us.

I-25 Central through Denver offers the perfect chance to expand options and put Colorado on a better transportation path
The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and local leaders are weighing the future of I-25 Central from about Santa Fe through Speer Blvd in Denver. It’s critical they avoid the temptation to widen the highway, recruiting even more cars through this unreliable, polluted, traffic-choked stretch. Instead, this is the perfect project, place and moment to expand travel options so more people can complete more trips without needing to drive.
