COLORADO TRANSPORTATION COMMISSION Pursuant to C.R.S. 43-1-106(h), the Transportation Commission of Colorado is responsible for the fiscal, policy, project planning and operations processes of the Department of Transportation. The legislature is responsible for the administrative portion of the department budget, which leaves the Commission responsible for budgeting the remaining 95%+ of the department’s funds. The Transportation Commission has existed in various forms since 1909. Its authority and makeup were most recently revisited in 1991 when the Colorado Department of Highways became the Colorado Department of Transportation with the adoption of HB 91-1198. Over the course of that time, the Commission has been the group charged with formulating the general policy with respect to the management, construction, and maintenance of transportation systems in Colorado. The Commission is made up of members appointed by the Governor and confirmed by the State Senate who serve four-year terms. The terms are staggered to ensure that one-half of the seats on the Commission come up for appointment every two years. There are no requirements for members of the Commission, partisan or otherwise, although state statute encourages the Governor to appoint one or more members to the Commission with experience in aviation, mass transit, and other modes of transportation, as well as one or more members with engineering experience. Each Commissioner represents one or more whole counties, and there are eleven commission districts across the state. An important duty of the Transportation Commission is the formulation of the statewide transportation plan. Developing the statewide plan is a collaborative process that integrates those transportation priorities identified by local officials across the state into a cohesive and seamless statewide plan. This plan is comprised of elements of smaller local transportation improvement plans developed by locally elected officials in fifteen different Transportation Planning Regions, often referred to as “TPR’s”, across the state. Each project is selected for funding based on its ability to solve or improve a particular transportation problem on the transportation system such as congestion, safety, surface deterioration, or bridge deterioration. After the TPR’s have reached consensus on their individual regional plans, all fifteen TPR’s come together as one group, known as the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee, or STAC. At this STAC meeting, the individual TPR members work with one another to reconcile the conflicting elements “around the edges” of the regional plans so that the several individual plans can be integrated into a single statewide plan. Once that consensus is reached, the statewide plan is presented to the Transportation Commission for approval. This plan is then utilized in the budget process for prioritization of projects within available revenue. 5
