Regional Transportation Partnerships Project

u Local & Regional Travel Patterns Study 2004 Update

 

The Regional Transportation Partnerships Project was a multi-year effort to foster regional partnerships among 12 local governments and various local organizations in the Roaring Fork and Colorado River Valley to more effectively address regional transportation problems. The project has included the following components between 1996-2000:

Regional Transportation Roundtable (1996-1998)

Reports

Travel Patterns Study

Regional Transit District Preliminary Analysis (pdf)

Transit-Oriented Development Guidelines

Local and Regional Travel Pattern Study (1997-1998)

Summary of Transportation Planning Data in Existing Reports: Technical Memorandum.  This report is made up of the following elements:

  • A discussion of the types of data necessary to describe and predict travel in the valley.
  • A general summary of available data, its sources, and the extent to which it meets planning requirements.
  • Highlights of the data included in available reports, and a discussion of the data’s strengths and weaknesses.
  • An index of the data types as included in the available reports.

The overall purpose of this report is to provide the reader with an understanding of what data is necessary, what data is available, and what data is missing and therefore must be collected to support effective transportation planning in the valley.
