Coffee at CDOT

Between the months of September and June, CDOT hosts a monthly informational coffee with changing discussion topics. The intent of these meetings is to foster communication between CDOT environmental staff and consultants working on (or potentially working on) CDOT projects. It is a way for CDOT to give updates on policies, regulations, processes, issues, statutes, work plans, etc. Participants should bring discussion items related to the topic. Coffee and snacks will be supplied by members of the American Council of Engineering Companies (ACEC).Logo of Coffee @ CDOT showing a coffee mug spilling coffee into the text,
