2050 Statewide Transportation Plan
About the Statewide Transportation Plan
Every four years, CDOT reviews Colorado’s transportation needs and creates a plan, “Your Transportation Plan” to guide future investments. This plan is unique because it is shaped by feedback from community members all across the state. The goal is to create a transportation plan that benefits every region of Colorado and offers a variety of ways to travel.
Update to the Statewide Transportation Plan
The update to the 2050 Statewide Transportation Plan is currently underway! We invite you to participate in an upcoming survey to share your transportation needs and opportunities. To support this effort, we’ll be using a variety of data, including demographics, crash statistics, and other key information. You can explore the data through the Statewide Plan Data Visualizer. You can also review the previous 2045 Statewide Transportation Plan.
Statewide Transportation Planning Process
CDOT follows a performance-based, multimodal transportation planning process that is continuous, comprehensive, and cooperative (3C), as required by federal and state laws. This process involves updating plans every four to five years, ensuring broad public involvement in key decisions about Colorado’s transportation system, including setting long- and short-term goals, identifying strategies, and prioritizing investments. The process results in key planning documents, such as the Statewide Transportation Plan (SWP), Regional Transportation Plans (RTPs), and the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
