Call for community-based transportation planning projects (DRCOG)

The Denver Regional Council of Governments requests letters of interest for projects for the 2024-2025 Community-Based Transportation Planning Set-aside program. The letters of interest window opens Wednesday, Nov. 1.

The Community-Based Transportation Planning Set-aside program is a Denver Regional Council of Governments-led technical assistance program in the 2024-2027 Transportation Improvement Program. This program aims to support member jurisdictions in addressing mobility challenges for historically marginalized communities in DRCOG’s region.

The four-year set-aside program has an estimated budget of $2.5 million, with each two-year cycle expected to utilize $1.25 million. DRCOG will fund and manage all studies. There is no local match required. 

This program aims to assist project sponsors — including member governments and community organizations — in various transportation planning efforts to expand mobility for marginalized populations. Eligible projects could include:

• Subarea transportation plans
• Corridor plans
• Multimodal, bicycle and/or pedestrian plans
• Safety or vision zero plans
• Transit or microtransit studies
• First/last mile studies
• School transportation plans
• Other transportation or mobility-related studies.
• Conceptual design for community-informed transportation solutions (up to 30% design)

Letters of interest for this program are due by Sunday, Dec. 31.
