HB23-1101 TPR Study Information:

On April 28, 2023, Governor Polis signed HB 23-1101: The Ozone Season Transit Grant Program Flexibility bill. This bill requires CDOT to analyze the consistency of the regional planning process across the state and prepare a study to be submitted to the Transportation Commission of Colorado on or before November 30, 2023. The study can include recommendations for adjustments or improvements to the administration and boundaries of the state’s 15 TPRs. This legislation directs the Transportation Commission to review these recommendations and open the rules governing the statewide planning process for public comment. It does not mandate that the Commission adopt the recommendations.

The study has concluded and here is the final HB 1101 Report

CDOT has received the following public comment letters:
