The Pikes Peak Region will invest in outcome-driven activities that specifically meet the goals and priorities established in the LRTP. The LRTP utilized qualitative and quantitative data gathered through citizen input, partner agency participation, technical analysis, project scoring, and local engineering expertise to identify the highest priority needs in which to direct funding.
Implementation Strategies
To ensure the transportation system meets existing and future travel needs of the PPACG region, the LRTP includes implementation guidance for maintenance, operations, safety, motorized, nonmotorized, transit, and specialized transportation systems. It should be noted that PPACG does not have the authority to construct projects, maintain infrastructure, or develop policy for the jurisdictions and other transportation organizations in the region.
Roadway
Roadway and highway transportation projects tend to be the focus of investments and improvements for most MPOs nationwide. The projects in this LRTP funded by federal and state dollars are primarily maintenance, operations improvements, congestion management and safety, not construction of new roads or road widening. The construction of new roads within the region is primarily paid for through private funding as part of development agreements. In addition, the PPRTA provides local funds that may be utilized for any type of roadway or other transportation project, including road widening or development. These projects are proposed by the member governments of the PPRTA and are approved by taxpayers; thus, they are not subject to the approval of PPACG or the TC.
The roadway projects recommended for implementation are shown in the fiscally constrained project list, Table 8-1. This table includes all funding streams in order to provide transparency to the public and a more holistic approach to the regional transportation system.
However, the projected funding for the region is not anticipated to fulfill regional needs. Because of this, an unfunded project list is also included in this chapter to identify additional projects that may be considered in the future.
Maintenance
Funding preventive maintenance is crucial to maintaining a transportation system, including maintaining or rehabilitating road surface, and replacing or repairing bridges, as well as maintaining bicycle and pedestrian facilities and public transportation. This is particularly important considering the projected needs resulting from projected regional population increases and economic growth over the life of the plan.
The following strategies are recommended.
- Continue resurfacing and reconstruction programs, with priority assigned to higher volume routes.
- When possible, standardize design and use of pavements that better absorb noise and drain water, such as the application of rubberized pavements.
Management and Operations
System management refers to programs and infrastructure that are used to operate roadways. The goal is to make the transportation system as effective and efficient as possible. Some of the most common features include signal synchronization, traffic monitoring, variable message signs, incident management, public information programs, and marked detours.
Transportation System Management and Operations strategies will be considered and analyzed in connection with all investments in the plan either as stand-alone projects or as part of another transportation project.
- Implement intelligent transportation system (ITS) architecture to enhance incident management program effectiveness.
- Support real-time traveler-information systems, incident management, and information/communication/monitoring systems, including live video feed or internet access to traffic cameras.
- Install “pedestrian timing signals” that count down time remaining for pedestrians to cross at major pedestrian intersections. Install audible pedestrian signal equipment at key locations as warranted. Use alternative pedestrian detection and pre-emption systems as appropriate.
- Expand travel demand management programs to help reduce the number of peak-period single-occupant automobile trips.
- Better link transportation planning and operations, which may include data or resource sharing, cooperative planning, or operations activities.
Transit
While the fiscally constrained project list in this LRTP includes major transit projects and funding pools, the 2050 Regional Transit Plan (Appendix B) includes a detailed implementation plan and project list that provides detail beyond this LRTP. Implementing the full vision of the Regional Transit Plan would achieve many of the goals of MMT and its stakeholders through the following:
- Make transit a more competitive travel option, especially along the seven identified enhanced transit corridors.
- Tailor new service options to demand by introducing innovative mobility zones that can build up transit demand in unproven or growing markets.
- Improve the transit service for existing riders by increasing frequency and extending service span on all local routes.
- Increase access to jobs and services by combining some existing routes into new crosstown routes.
- Serve areas of high existing and expected growth with new local and express transit routes.
- Sustainably support service expansion with capital investments in new buses, transit centers, a new maintenance facility, and establishing programs within MMT to partner with municipalities to improve the accessibility, comfort, and competitiveness of riding transit in the Pikes Peak Region.
Specialized Transportation
The following five recommended strategies were identified in the 2050 Specialized Transportation Plan, which is included in this plan at Appendix C. These strategies are not fiscally constrained.
- High-Priority Strategies
- Incrementally develop a One-Call One-Click center.
- Coordinate with providers to help secure funding for right-sized, shared, and well-maintained vehicles that meet ridership needs.
- Commission mobility services under improved standards of service.
- Medium-Priority Strategies
- Create a program to reimburse people for Uber, Lyft, and taxi rides in situations where there is a critical unmet transportation need based on the time and location of the trip.
- Consolidate all resources and explore training options for drivers.
Implementation of these strategies would require coordination among various groups within the Pikes Peak Region and, in some cases, additional funding.
Active Transportation
As noted in Chapter 7, there are multiple funding sources specifically designated for active transportation (bicycle and pedestrian) projects. Specific projects are contained in the fiscally constrained project list, Table 8-1, as well as several additional projects that have active transportation elements. The Active Transportation Plan, adopted in 2024, contains a variety of additional recommendations for the future. Below is a summary list of recommendations from that plan:
- Adopt a Regional Corridors Network
- Identify and Pursue Big Lift Projects
- Reserve Right-of-Way (ROW) in Future Roadway Corridors
- ADA Transition Plans
- Complementary Programmatic Projects
- Develop Regional Design Guidelines
- Local Programmatic Gaps Identification
- Update Local Development Review Processes
- Install Amenities at Strategic Locations in Regional Corridor Network
- Develop Amenities Brochure for External Investments
- Explore Operations and Maintenance Agreements
- Create a Terminology and Consistency Committee
- Adopt Common Language
- Adjust Local Ordinances And Policies
- Create Wayfinding Committee
- Create Shared Micromobility Committee
- Consolidate Regional Active Transportation Data
Freight
The Regional Freight Mobility Study’s findings culminated with the identification of projects and corridors designed to improve freight mobility and the position of the region for future population growth and the demand for freight infrastructure.
The study includes the following implementation actions:
- Continue coordination with regional, state, and federal stakeholders around freight planning implementation activities, such as engagement with the Colorado Freight Advisory Committee and CDOT Freight Mobility and Safety Branch.
- Build on the region study through development of a freight plan and other specific studies as needed.
- Consider establishment of a PPACG freight working group.
- Explore funding programs available through the IIJA relevant to specific freight needs within the region, such as the National Highway Freight Program (NHFL), CRIS), and the Grade Crossing Elimination Program.
Passenger Rail
As previously noted, the FRPR District has been established to plan, design, finance, construct, operate, and maintain a new passenger rail system along the Front Range. Following the development of the SDP to guide implementation, recommendations may be included in future LRTPs as applicable.
Safety
Safety improvements are vital to the regional transportation system in order to reduce the number of crashes, serious injuries, and fatalities in the region. Many of the project in the fiscally constrained list are safety projects or have safety components. In addition, the following strategies are recommended.
- Continue effective programs to monitor and evaluate the highway system to make it possible to identify locations where improvements are needed. Conduct necessary studies and improve deficient locations.
- Support CDOT’s efforts to implement the goals, strategies and project needs set forth in the SHSP.
- Continue to participate in Colorado’s SHSP and provide direct input to its working groups.
- Conduct and support Safety Action Plans within the region as well as their implementation.
- Work cooperatively with CDOT and local governments to obtain grant funding such as Safe Routes to Schools, SS4A, and other sources as possible.
Fiscally Constrained Project List
As described in Chapter 2, this LRTP includes a fiscally constrained project list developed to support the LRTP goals in coordination with the local jurisdictions and planning partners. Projects included in Table 8-1 are recommended for implementation from 2025 through 2050. In total, the fiscally constrained project list includes $5.3 billion in projects to be funded over the next 25 years.
These projects are planned to be funded through various sources, including private, local, PPRTA, state, and federal funds. Projects were submitted by the local jurisdictions. They were then evaluated, scored, and prioritized by members of our TAC. The projects represent the regional priorities that can be funded with sources that are reasonably expected to be available throughout the life of the plan. Chapter 7 discusses the expected revenues and costs in detail. Projects in the region must be consistent with this LRTP in order to be eligible for federal funds. However, inclusion in this plan does not guarantee funding or completion.
Projects that have funding programmed in the FY 2025-2029 TIP are considered as part of the fiscally constrained long-range plan revenues and estimates and are included in Table 8-1. However, the TIP is amended as needed. The listing in this document is as of November 6, 2024; the electronic TIP (eTIP) on the PPACG website should be consulted for the most up-to-date TIP information. It should be noted that for transparency the fiscally constrained list contains TIP projects that have funding that was programmed in previous years but has not yet been encumbered in a contract. In line with federal regulations, that funding rolls over on an annual basis. When the funding is committed to a contract, it will be taken out of the TIP. This occurs on an annual basis in line with the end of the state fiscal year.
The fiscally constrained project list (Table 8-1) contains 232 projects throughout the Pikes Peak Region. Although specific funding sources were not identified for each project, the funding sources for these projects are identified in the Financial Plan, Chapter 7. The fiscally constrained project list contains only those transit projects that would fall into those regional funding sources. Additional funding specific to transit or specialized transportation, such as FTA Section 5307 and 5310 funding, are identified in the Regional Transit Plan and Regional Specialized Transportation Plan, respectively, as are projects utilizing that funding.

Projects by Type
For mapping and categorization purposes, projects were classified by their primary project type and a secondary project type based on the major elements of the project. Note that because many projects were assigned two project types, when added the following percentages will be more than 100%. In addition, although the projects were only designated to a maximum of two project types, many projects have multiple elements and could have been classified as several project types. For example, a project to improve roadway operations may also be a critical safety project but also may contain sidewalk or other bicycle/pedestrian features. See the project descriptions in Table 8-1 for details on particular projects.
Figure 8-1 depicts the number of projects by project type per the following text.
Figure 8-1: Projects by Type
The first and second goals of the LRTP discuss the preservation and enhancement of the regional transportation system and providing efficient and fully connected to transportation. To fulfill those goals, nearly 44% of the fiscally constrained list is roadway projects (103 projects). Nearly 22% (50 projects) of projects are classified as roadway operational improvements, 12% (28) are capacity and 11% (25) are preventative maintenance or reconstruction projects. Many of these projects also increase resiliency and redundancy.
Of the capacity projects, defined as projects that create new roads or road lanes, eight are anticipated to be fully or partially paid for with private funding. Five are CDOT projects, two of which are funded or partially funded in the current TIP and one of which is the construction phase of that TIP project. Of the remaining projects identified to be sponsored by local jurisdictions or multiple agencies, two are partially or fully funded in the TIP and one is a Phase 2 of an existing TIP project. Nine have already been approved by local voters to receive PPRTA funding and one is the construction phase of a current PPRTA project. PPACG anticipates the remainder to be identified for future PPRTA funding as they provide critical for critical connectivity, support safety by correcting outdated lane configuration, etc.
In addition to those roadway projects, nearly 14% (32) are interchange or intersection improvements projects; 10% (23) are bridge projects.
However, the LRTP goals also speak to providing multimodal transportation and maintaining a robust, equitable, and healthy system. The project selection process recognized that non-motorized, transit, and other transportation modes and the growth of those modes are critical to the overall system. In addition, there are several funding sources, including state MMOF and federal TAP funding that is designated specifically for alternate mode projects. Approximately 16% of projects (49) are classified as bicycle and pedestrian projects with an additional 13% (30) classified as multimodal improvement projects. Just over 8% of projects (19) are transit projects, although this does not include additional transit projects funded through FTA and transit-specific funding and identified in the Regional Transit Plan. Specific specialized transportation projects are also not included in this fiscally constrained list.
Understanding that safety is a critical issue for the Pikes Peak Region, 27% of projects were classified as safety improvement projects and nearly 6% were classified as ADA Enhancements.
Finally, about 10% of projects (23) included transportation studies and plans or water quality, technology, or other transportation-related enhancements and one project could not be classified as it is a PPRTA funding pool that provides local match money for projects that receive state or federal discretionary grants.
Figures 8-2 through 8-6 illustrate the roadway, intersection improvement, bridge, active transportation, and safety projects in the region.
Figure 8-2: Roadway Projects
Figure 8-3: Intersection Improvement Projects
Figure 8-4: Bridge Projects
Figure 8-5: Active Transportation Projects
Figure 8-6: Safety Projects
Because most projects have multiple characteristics, it is difficult to identify how much funding is designated to specific projects types funding amount designated to different project types. It should be noted that several funding types may be used for a single project. For example, a project may use TAP funding to add sidewalks but STBG funding for roadway operational improvements.
Transit Project List
As previously noted, the Regional Transit Plan outlines 58 projects divided into short-term (20), medium-term (21) , and long-term (17) projects. The projects are categorized by the following investment themes:
- Enhanced Transit Corridors
- New Fixed Routes
- Innovative Mobility Zones
- Extend Service Span
- Improve Capital Infrastructure
- Improve Existing Route Frequency
- New Crosstown Routes
These projects total $1.25 billion in capital costs between 2025 and 2050. The full project list and more detail can be found in Appendix B. Figure 8-7 depicts these projects.
Figure 8-7: Transit Projects
In addition, MMT, local jurisdictions, and CDOT have developed a project list for inclusion in the TCS. This list contains projects in the Pikes Peak Region that can help support CDOT transit goals and represents more aggressive implementation of the vision in the Regional Transit Plan positioned to take advantage of increasing funding streams. This list includes several service enhancement projects, including express bus service and localized circulators to create last mile connections. In addition, this list includes express and flex service as part of the Plains to Peak Corridor as well as several stop and station improvements such as mobility hubs and upgrades to existing connection points. The list is included as an addendum to the Regional Transit Plan, Appendix B.
Unfunded Project List
As noted, the projected funding for the region is not anticipated to sufficiently meet transportation needs. Projects included in Table 8-2, are those that have an identified need but no identified funding source. While these projects would be beneficial to the regional transportation system, funding is not available to implement them within this plan. The unfunded project list is not all-encompassing. There are known needs beyond the scope of the fiscally constrained and unfunded project lists; however, they may not be developed enough to include in the LRTP at the time of publication. As the LRTP is updated in future years, the fiscally constrained and unfunded projects lists will change as needed.
Funding estimates were included in Table 8-2 when available.
