2012 Transportation Deficit Report

The Transportation Deficit Report, mandated by FASTER, quantifies Colorado’s transportation budget deficit and provides information to the state legislature and the public about the causes of rising costs, including population growth, vehicle size and weight, land use policies and work patterns. Deficits are defined as the shortfall between projected revenues and the estimated costs to sustain the current condition of roadways, bridges and maintenance program areas over the next ten years. Costs to achieve the Transportation Commission’s performance goals and corridor visions over the next ten years are also addressed.
