map of transportation infrastructure and associated projects
funded through the regional Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP), Pikes
Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA), Pikes Peak Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP), or the CDOT 10-Year Plans within the Pikes
Peak Area Council of Governments (PPACG) region.
As the
federally-designated Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO)
for the Colorado Springs area, the Pikes Peak Area Council of
Governments (PPACG) is responsible for developing and maintaining a
regional Long-Range Transportation Plan (LRTP) in order to be eligible
for
federal funding of transportation projects within the MPO area. All
transportation projects that could
significantly alter transportation or air quality within the
metropolitan planning area must be included in the plan.
The
Transportation
Improvement Program (TIP) implements the LRTP's goals by identifying
specific transportation and transit projects to receive funding as it
becomes available.
The Pikes
Peak Rural Transportation Authority (PPRTA) is a collaborative effort
among local governments to fund a variety of voter-approved
transportation infrastructure capital projects, transit and multimodal
improvements, and operational maintenance activities. These projects are
also identified within the LRTP.
The Colorado Department of
Transportation (CDOT) 10-Year plans identify and prioritize CDOT's
transportation and transit projects pertaining to state-managed
Interstates and highways over a ten year period for each of the state's
Transportation Planning Regions (TPR). The PPACG area includes CDOT
projects within the Pikes Peak Area MPO (TPR 1) and the Central Front
Range planning region (TPR 14).
The map contains the point
and polyline layers of these regional projects, the MPO boundary, the PPRTA boundary, the PPACG boundary, and a
layer of Route Centerlines which identify the functionally classified
roadways eligible for federal funding.
