I. INTRODUCTION This Transportation Improvement Program (TIP) identifies federally funded surface transportation projects to be implemented in the Denver region from fiscal years 2005 through 2010. Transportation projects support Metro Vision 2020 (Metro Vision), the regional vision to address future growth, by providing a regional multimodal transportation system that provides mobility and accessibility for people and goods. TIP projects help to (1) maintain the system; (2) improve safety; (3) reduce congestion; and (4) enhance the transportation system. At the same time, TIP projects support the other elements of Metro Vision. All projects included in this TIP are consistent with the currently adopted long-range Regional Transportation Plan (RTP). The Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), the region’s Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO), is responsible for the preparation of the TIP in cooperation with local governments, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Regional Transportation District (RTD). The geographic area covered by the TIP includes all or portions of Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Jefferson and Douglas Counties as shown on the shaded portions of Figure 1. Project selection is a cooperative process with submittals from local governments, CDOT and RTD. A further description of how TIP projects are selected is presented later, in the Investment Decision Process section. Regional policy1 provides a basis for the evaluation and ranking of DRCOG projects. The 2005-2010 TIP was approved by the DRCOG Board of Directors on March 17, 2004. Each TIP project is described in Exhibit 2, in Section IV of this TIP document. The projects are organized chronologically by TIP number from the lowest TIP number to the highest TIP number. There are several other ways to find a TIP project in this document: • Geographically-specific projects are shown by location on a regional map (Figure 2). • All projects except those in the STP-Enhancement pool are listed in alphabetical order

in Table 1 and by funding source in Table 2. • Appendix B lists the projects in the STP-Enhancement pool. • Appendix A lists projects by county, municipality and project type. Regional Needs Metro Vision is the Denver region’s plan for addressing future growth in the metropolitan area. Adopted by the DRCOG Board of Directors in 1997 and amended several times since, it outlines six core elements to provide guidance for the development pattern of the region, the necessary transportation system, and actions needed to improve air quality. The six elements are: (1) planning the extent of development in the region; (2) preserving open space; (3) maintaining freestanding communities; (4) providing a

balanced, multimodal transportation system; (5) establishing urban centers; and (6) sustaining environmental quality. Transportation projects in the 2005-2010 TIP support the six Metro Vision core elements. TIP projects also address other transportation issues including congestion management, safety, and facility restoration and maintenance. Metro Vision’s transportation element is the preferred long-range regional transportation plan and identifies projects based on the views of local governments, RTD, CDOT and the public. The Metro Vision 2025 Interim Regional Transportation Plan, the Fiscally Constrained Element (2025 RTP), was adopted by the DRCOG Board of Directors in April 2002, and amended in August 2003. For inclusion in the RTP, projects must be identified in Metro Vision, and there must be a reasonable expectation that funds will be available for project implementation. The 2005-2010 TIP is the six-year implementation program. For projects to be included in the TIP, they must be identified in the 2025 RTP and fiscally constrained by regional revenues. Figure 3 graphically shows the relationship between the Metro Vision 2020 Plan, the RTP, and the TIP. A further discussion of how the TIP supports the 2025 RTP and Transportation Issues is presented in Section II. Federal Requirements Conformity Finding The 2005-2010 TIP project selection process ensures consistency with the air quality conformity requirements by limiting capacity project eligibility to the 2013 staging projects in the adopted 2025 RTP. The TIP’s project selection did not violate this specification. The technical report Conformity of the 2005-2010 Transportation Improvement Program with the State Implementation Plan for Air Quality (Conformity document) presents the conformity finding. Financial Constraint This TIP is prioritized and financially constrained. Projects promote the goals of the fiscally constrained RTP. A list of projects to be undertaken during the six TIP years from 2005 to 2010 is included in Table 2, presented in Section III. As discussed subsequently, the last three years of the TIP (2008-2010) are mostly unprogrammed. Table 2 is organized by project name within each funding source and includes the TIP project number, project name, and total federal, state and local project costs. Some projects with multiple funding sources are listed with each funding source. Projects funded by the STP-Enhancement pool are specifically identified in Appendix B. Table 3, presented in Section III, demonstrates that projects listed from 2005 to 2007 can be implemented using anticipated revenues; i.e., they are within the committed or reasonably expected federal funding levels.

Project Management The implementation status of projects in the 2003-2008 TIP is presented in Section III. Public Involvement Public involvement is a continuous process, which ensures that project selection considers the concerns of affected citizens. Public participation is generated at both local and regional levels. Citizen involvement begins when local agencies develop project lists for submittal to DRCOG for regional review. Local governments empower citizens in the selection of transportation projects through their public involvement process. In shaping public involvement programs, local governments often consider the size of their community, level of public awareness about transportation issues, and involvement of community based organizations. Setting realistic goals and ensuring accountability between local officials and community organizations promotes successful public involvement activities.

10

A public hearing was conducted on TIP project selection on February 18, 2004. Citizens had the opportunity to testify verbally and in writing and be heard by the DRCOG Board. No written or verbal comments were made at or as part of the hearing. Investment Decision Process Investment decisions for spending transportation funds on transportation projects are made by CDOT, RTD and local agencies through the MPO planning process. Figure 4 describes the process beginning with where the money comes from, identifying where the money first goes to, what categories the money is divided into, who allocates the funds, who submits the projects, and concluding with the TIP and its inclusion in the State Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). Decisions begin by identifying federal, state, and local revenue sources available in specific funding categories (Figure 4). Local and state agencies follow their own project selection procedures and federal guidelines in making investment decisions about projects to be included in the regional TIP. Revenues come from federal, state and local sources. The Federal Transportation Trust Fund and General Revenue Funds are appropriated by Congress and distributed to either the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) or the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). FHWA allocates funding to CDOT in the Bridge, Interstate Maintenance, National Highway System, Surface Transportation Program (STP-Flexible, STP-Safety, and STP-Enhancement), and Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality funding categories. In turn, CDOT provides the STP-Enhancement and Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality (CMAQ) funds to DRCOG to distribute. FHWA allocates STP-Metro funds directly to DRCOG, based on population. FTA allocates a small portion of its funds to CDOT for transit service projects for elderly individuals and individuals with disabilities, and for transit projects in rural and small urban areas. The Colorado General Revenues flow to CDOT. Colorado Highway Users Tax Fund revenues flow to CDOT and local governments. The CDOT Transportation Commission combines state and federal revenue sources into five investment categories: Strategic Projects, System Quality, Safety, Program Delivery, and Mobility. CDOT regions submit selected projects to DRCOG for inclusion in the TIP in the following investment categories or program areas: Strategic Projects, Regional Priority Programs, Congestion Relief Program, Bridge, Safety, and Discretionary. Surface Treatment is listed in the TIP as a pool. Most FTA funds are allocated to the Regional Transportation District (RTD) through formula grants and discretionary new start, new bus and fixed guideway categories. Other sources of RTD funds are sales and use taxes, fare box collection, and miscellaneous revenues. The RTD Board of Directors, through the adoption of the annual six-year Transit Development Program, sets priorities for RTD capital improvements. RTD submits the selected projects to DRCOG for inclusion in the TIP. DRCOG selects projects through its MPO committee process for STP-Enhancement, STP-Metro and CMAQ federal funding categories. DRCOG also lists local government funded projects that require a federal approval in the TIP.

The Regional Transportation Committee recommended that the three agencies endeavor, to the extent possible, not to program the last three years of the TIP (2008-2010) to preserve flexibility for the next TIP (2007-2012) to address the new 2030 Regional Transportation Plan (expected to be adopted in late 2004). For the most part, all three agencies did so. DRCOG TIP Selection Process In selecting projects, DRCOG committees follow eligibility standards and ranking criteria included in the Policy on Transportation Improvement Program Preparation, adopted by the Board of Directors on August 20, 2003 (Preparation Policy) and amended January 21, 2004. The Preparation Policy document is available on the DRCOG Web site at www.drcog.org. In August 2003, DRCOG requested projects for the 2005-2010 TIP. Application forms were available through the DRCOG website, and DRCOG staff provided data and assistance to local governments. Project sponsors submitted applications to DRCOG in October 2003. Projects for which DRCOG has selection responsibility were reviewed for eligibility, scored, and ranked based on the Preparation Policy. Potential new funds were included in the list of available resources. The primary selection phase utilized scores and rankings to identify projects for the first 85 percent of the available funds (including resubmitted projects). The Preparation Policy established funding targets for the primary selection as derived from the 2025 RTP. This action provides for each aspect of the RTP to be implemented over the plan’s time period. A secondary selection phase, considering equity, cost saving, synergy, and readiness, was used to identify the remaining 15 percent. Reserve projects were created to hold reserves (mostly for 2008-2010) for future allocation. STP-Metro The available federal funding is estimated to be about $64.8 million for resubmitted and new projects in 2005-2007. This estimate includes about $63.9 million for the basic allocation for the three years and an additional $0.9 million as reallocated resources from fiscal year 2004. The STP-Metro program may fund projects from seven project types - roadway reconstruction, roadway operational improvements, roadway widening, new roadway, new interchange, interchange reconstruction, and studies. In the primary phase, four projects were selected (two reconstruction, two roadway operational improvements). The cost of resubmitted projects left no funds available in primary selection for roadway capacity projects (new roadway, widening, interchanges) or studies. In secondary selection, one new roadway project, one new interchange project (partial funding), four more roadway operational projects, and one study were selected.

13

Congestion Mitigation/Air Quality The available federal funding is estimated to be $49.0 million for resubmitted and new projects in 2005-2007. All of this is basic allocation for the three years. Through the adopted Preparation Policy, CMAQ funds are first allocated for the RideArrangers Program, three congestion management pools (Transportation Demand Management Program, Traffic Signal System Improvement Program, and a newly-established Intelligent Transportation System Pool), and one air quality improvement pool (Conformity Finding Mitigation Program), in addition to resubmitted projects. CMAQ is then used to fund projects in four project types--rapid transit (none submitted), new bus service, transit passenger facilities, and other air quality improvement projects. Funds available in the primary selection phase were sufficient to fund all 12 of the submitted projects in these project types. Because all of the submitted projects were selected in the primary phase, secondary selection focused on “other” CMAQ-eligible project types (bicycle/pedestrian and roadway operational improvements). In all, one resubmitted bicycle/pedestrian project was changed from STP-Enhancement to CMAQ, one primary selected bicycle/pedestrian project was changed from STP-Enhancement to CMAQ, and two new bicycle/pedestrian projects were selected to use the secondary CMAQ funds. STP-Enhancement The available federal funding is estimated to be $8.3 million for resubmitted and new projects in 2005-2007. This estimate includes $7.7 million for the basic allocation for the three years and an additional $0.6 million as reallocated resources from fiscal year 2004. Six enhancement projects were initially selected in the primary phase. As noted above, one of these was later changed to CMAQ, and six additional projects were selected in the secondary phase. This required programming approximately $0.7 million of fiscal year 2008 enhancement funds. As a “best practices” test, the enhancement program is shown in the TIP table (Table 2) as a pool except for resubmitted projects. New enhancement projects are separately listed in Appendix B. In Exhibit 2, the funding source for these projects is shown as the STP-Enhancement pool. Potential Additional Funds Additional STP-Metro, CMAQ, or STP-Enhancement funds may become available to DRCOG for programming in fiscal year 2005 and 2006, for example through project close-out or a new federal surface transportation act. In that event, projects currently identified in Table 1 and Appendix B will be advanced (funding moved forward), with the concurrence of the sponsor, to the extent practical. This will be done in order--first by year (TIP) of initial selection for resubmitted projects, and second by score for new 2005-2010 projects. There may be circumstances in which the additional funds exceed the ability of those projects to move forward. In those instances, “new” projects may be selected from among those on waiting lists. The waiting lists and the protocol for use are shown in Appendix C. None of the waiting list projects is for additional roadway capacity;

14

therefore, conformity would not be affected if any of them were added into the TIP in the future. Advancement of funding for current projects or addition of a new project from the waiting list would be done by means of administrative amendment. CDOT TIP Selection Process CDOT has primary responsibility for selecting projects that use federal National Highway System, Bridge, Interstate Maintenance, and Transit Small Urban and Transit Elderly/Disabled funds. CDOT also has primary responsibility for selecting projects to be funded through the Colorado Transportation Commission’s “Regional Priority Programs” and “Congestion Relief Program,” which include state funds and some of Colorado’s share of federal surface transportation funds. Because the amount of transportation funding available to the CDOT regions in the DRCOG area was sharply reduced, and because the regions adhered to the Regional Transportation Committee request not to program fiscal year 2008 to 2010 funds, essentially no new CDOT projects are shown in the 2005-2010 TIP. While CDOT did hold the county hearings per the Project Priority Programming Process, where initiation of new projects and resumption of deferred projects were requested, each region’s decision was fundamentally which 2003-2008 TIP projects to continue within the 2005-2010 TIP, and which ones to defer to later years. Projects selected for retention typically completed a project or a logical phase of a project. RTD TIP Selection Process The Regional Transportation District (RTD) has primary responsibility for selecting projects in the Transit Formula and Discretionary Grants (Fixed Guideway, New Bus and New Starts) federal funding categories. RTD ensures that all projects are in the Transit Development Program (TDP) and have fiscal support. The TDP is a six-year overview of the operating and capital improvement program for RTD. It is updated and published annually and is fiscally constrained. RTD includes projects in the TDP by considering current and future service needs and the capital improvements required to sustain those needs, and the revenue resources available. The TDP is developed with input from RTD departments and local governments. In the final stage of adoption, the TDP is approved by the RTD Board in an open meeting process. As with CDOT, RTD’s anticipated revenues decreased substantially; the 2003-2008 TDP totaled $397 million, but the 2004-2009 TDP (the basis for RTD’s submittals for the 2005-2010 TIP) totaled only $164 million. The majority of this decrease is in local (non-federal) revenues. The TIP reflects TDP projects pursued with federal funding. Historically, $100 million to $150 million of the projects in the TDP are eligible for federal funding, and RTD receives about $30 million in federal formula funding each year. To identify projects for inclusion in the TIP, RTD considers both TDP project priority and estimates of historical federal funding levels. RTD submits projects that further its future transportation goals. RTD does not submit for inclusion in the TIP other construction or operational projects which are funded

15

with locally derived revenues. As such, the reader is encouraged to contact RTD directly for a copy of its TDP in order to gain a complete picture of public transit expenditures. Interagency Coordination While the three agencies’ selection processes are independent, the three agencies took appropriate steps to ensure coordination: • RTD and DRCOG actively participated in CDOT’s county hearings. • RTD’s TDP development is a public process. • DRCOG’s Preparation Policy is reviewed by MPO committees (on which RTD and

CDOT serve) before adoption by the DRCOG Board. • The entire DRCOG selection process is transparent, with monthly briefings of MPO

committees on progress and tentative decisions. In addition, an interagency meeting was held to review and comment on each other’s preliminary project recommendations. Synergies and conflicts, between not only selected projects but also those not selected, were considered. Because of the limited amount of CDOT and RTD funds, and thus projects, no conflicts and only a few synergies were identified.

II. REGIONAL PRIORITIES Metro Vision Metro Vision 2020 is the Denver region’s plan for managing the challenges of growth by integrating plans for development, transportation and environmental quality. The following pages briefly define the Metro Vision core elements and demonstrate how the 2005-2010 TIP supports Metro Vision. The core elements of Metro Vision are (1) extent of urban development; (2) preserving open space; (3) maintaining freestanding communities; (4) providing a balanced, multimodal transportation system; (5) establishing urban centers; and (6) sustaining environmental quality. Extent of Urban Development The plan defines a 747-square-mile area within which urban growth will take place. Projects in the TIP usually are located within this “urban growth boundary/area” unless they connect the urban areas to each other or to other regions. Open Space Open space is a limited natural resource of great importance to the region. Metro Vision 2020 identifies several types of open space and parks and encourages the acquisition and protection of these areas. Transportation projects can support open space by design and provide access to active parks. Freestanding Communities Metro Vision 2020 sees benefits for the entire region by having certain communities grow but remain freestanding. The outlying communities of Boulder, Brighton, Castle Rock and Longmont are, by choice, geographically separated from the larger urbanized Denver area. A freestanding community is expected to have an internal transportation system. Such transportation improvements support the economy and vitality of these communities. Balanced, Multimodal Transportation System A multimodal transportation system includes roadways, bus and rail transit systems, transportation demand management services, on-street bicycle accommodations, sidewalks and multi-use trails. Urban Centers Urban centers serve as transit origins and destinations that support retail, employment and housing, and contain higher densities than average that encourage pedestrian-

18

oriented travel. The future development of urban centers can result in reduced land consumption, the preservation of open space, and increased opportunities for walking and bicycling trips. The Denver Central Business District is identified in the Metro Vision plan as the major urban center of the region. Environmental Quality Population and employment growth, land development, and transportation facilities are closely related and have significant effects on air and water quality in the Denver region. Metro Vision Implementation Criteria - TIP Input For DRCOG-selected projects, the adopted Preparation Policy awards up to 16 (of 100 total) points to projects/sponsors for sponsor actions implementing Metro Vision. A total of 16 criteria that implement the five non-transportation Metro Vision core elements are identified, each of which is worth two points, such that sponsors must have or be implementing at least eight of them to receive the maximum number of points. Exhibit 1 identifies the criteria. Of the 22 local governments that submitted TIP applications: • Three indicated they were implementing 12 of the criteria. • Seventeen indicated they were implementing eight to 11 of the criteria. • Two indicated they were implementing fewer than eight of the criteria. In addition, the Preparation Policy awards up to five points if the sponsor has met its PM10 conformity commitments (pertinent to the Environmental Quality core element). To promote a balanced, multimodal transportation system, the Preparation Policy established funding targets for primary selection (of DRCOG-selected projects) of: • 52 percent for roadway projects (operational, reconstruction, capacity) • 10 percent for transit capacity projects (new bus service, transit facilities) • 31 percent for congestion management and air quality improvements • 7 percent for bicycle, pedestrian, and other enhancement projects To further promote a balanced, multimodal system, the Preparation Policy: • Awards roadway projects up to five points for including transportation system

management elements in the project. • Awards roadway and rapid transit projects up to five or 10 points for including

multimodal connectivity elements in the project (including bicycle/pedestrian, transit, and management features).

20

Metro Vision Implementation - TIP Outcome Some relevant outcomes of the 2005-2010 TIP development process are: • Of the 32 new local government-sponsored projects selected by DRCOG, 26 are

located in counties/communities that have incorporated the Urban Growth Boundary/Area (UGB/A) into their comprehensive plan and are using the UGB/A in development decisions.

• Of those 32 projects, eight are located in and sponsored by freestanding communities, and one (sponsored by a county) serves a freestanding community. The new RTD-sponsored CMAQ project is located in a freestanding community as well.

• Ten new air quality improvement projects and one new water quality project were selected by DRCOG.

• Project funding allocated to the various transportation modes through the 2005-2010 TIP is shown in Figure 5. As discussed in Section I, all eligible air quality improvement projects submitted were selected by DRCOG and the funds remaining were directed to submitted transit and bicycle/pedestrian projects. Thus, transit and bicycle/pedestrian mode allocations exceed the Preparation Policy targets.

Major Transportation Issues - TIP Response Major transportation issues in the Denver region include: (1) congestion management; (2) safety; and (3) restoration and maintenance of existing facilities. This section discusses how the TIP projects and programs respond to these transportation issues. Managing Traffic Congestion Traffic congestion and delays faced by drivers, passengers, and freight carriers can be reduced in many ways. These include building new roadways, adding new lanes to the existing system of roadways, reconfiguring and improving roadways, adding HOV lanes, improving traffic signal synchronization, adding park-n-Ride improvements, light rail facilities and stations, intermodal projects, bus service, transportation demand management programs, bicycle trails and pedestrian facilities, and promoting alternative travel modes. The vast majority of projects within the TIP either directly address congestion or provide options or alternatives to travel in congested corridors. Notable projects of this nature include: • T-REX (Southeast Corridor) highway and light rail transit construction • I-25/Broadway and I-25/120th Avenue bridges • Denver Union Station and Boulder Village Transit Center • Arvada call-n-Ride, Englewood Shuttle bus, and SH-119 Diagonal transit service • Boulder Transit Real-time Solutions • Pedestrian overpasses to T-REX light rail at Orchard, Dry Creek, and Lincoln Stations • Regional Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) Pool, Region 6 ITS Pool, and

Traffic Signal System Improvement Program • Regional Transportation Demand Management Program and DRCOG

Improving Safety Reducing the likelihood or severity of traffic crashes is the goal of specific “safety” projects and safety elements of larger-scale projects. The majority of projects funded in this TIP will contain some elements to improve safety even if the project is not specifically identified as a Surface Transportation Program (STP) Safety project. Safety improvements include pedestrian elements such as sidewalks, medians, and crosswalks; rail crossing protection; adding turn lanes and acceleration and deceleration lanes; reconstructing interchanges; and constructing roadway overpass and pedestrian bridges. Selection of STP Safety projects is a separate process from the DRCOG TIP selection process. CDOT is the lead transportation agency that selects safety projects. As the selection process is conducted, STP Safety projects will be added to the 2005-2010 TIP. Hazard Elimination Projects that address at-grade rail and highway safety concerns will also be added to the TIP when selected. The 2005-2010 TIP does show resubmitted STP Safety projects carried over from the 2003-2008 TIP. For DRCOG-selected projects, safety is explicitly considered in evaluating the following project types, per TIP Policy: roadway reconstruction, roadway operation, roadway widening, and bicycle/pedestrian. There are a number of non-STP Safety TIP projects that should provide significant safety benefits. TIP projects that received at least half of the possible safety points in the TIP project evaluation process (original process for resubmitted projects or 2005-2010 process for new projects) are listed below: Roadway Operational Projects • Wadsworth/Ohio • Arapahoe/University • Arapahoe/Boston/Clinton • Mississippi Avenue/Havana Street • US-36: Baseline to Jay Road, SH-7: SH-157 to 63rd Street, and SH-93 at Table

Roadway widening or operational projects often also reconstruct/rehabilitate existing infrastructure. Replacement of older RTD buses is also critical to maintaining efficient transit service. Sample TIP projects restoring and maintaining the existing transportation system follow: • T-REX (Southeast Corridor) • I-25/Broadway and I-25/120th Avenue bridges • Elk Creek/Clear Creek, Federal/Lakewood Gulch, Colorado north of I-70, and US-

36/Box Elder Creek bridges • Region 6 intersection reconstruction, roadway reconstruction, and surface treatment • Federal Boulevard, Quebec Street, US-85, and US-285 widening • RTD preventive vehicle maintenance, and fixed guideway maintenance • Arapahoe Road, Broadway/16th to 20th, Broadway/Pine to Iris, and US-287

III. FINANCIAL PROGRAMMING The financial programming section presents the TIP projects and funding sources. Table 2 presents TIP projects grouped by funding categories. Excluding resubmitted projects, funding for STP-Enhancement is shown as a “pool” in Table 2. The individual STP-Enhancement projects listed in Appendix B have been selected as the projects to be funded with this pool; any can proceed forward as readiness permits to the limit of the annual funds in the pool. Table 2 shows funding for the programmed projects over the six years of the TIP (by individual years for 2005, 2006, and 2007; collectively from 2008-2010). Previous, future (after 2010), and total funding is also displayed. The totals for each funding source are shown for comparison with available resources. Additional information on the projects is available in Section IV, which includes project descriptions. As these funds are programmed by the respective agencies, DRCOG is responsible for assuring the projects meet Metro Vision 2020 objectives, are consistent with the RTP, and that the program is fiscally constrained. The DRCOG Board of Directors then adopts the TIP document and the projects are implemented. Table 3 presents the available financial resources by funding category and year. The resource estimates are based on the CDOT November 24, 2003 Resource Allocation by category and year, prepared by the Office of Financial Management and Budget (OFMB). The 2005 estimates for STP-Metro and STP-Enhancement were adjusted by 2004 “reserves” assumed carried forward to 2005. CDOT Regions 1 and 4 include areas outside the DRCOG TIP area as well as areas within. CDOT region expenditures are fiscally constrained across their entire region each year of the six-year STIP, and the regions treat the resource allocations to the DRCOG portions of their regions as targets to achieve over that six-year (or longer) period. Thus, the amount Regions 1 and 4 program in the DRCOG TIP in any three-year period may be more or less than the OFMB-developed resource allocations. For the 2005-2010 TIP, CDOT Region 4 is programming substantially more to the DRCOG portion of its region in 2005-2007 to complete a project. This expenditure is consistent with targeted amounts from prior TIPs, and reflects advancing expenditures in the DRCOG area from 2008 and beyond. With this clarification, Table 3 shows that the amounts programmed in the TIP from 2005-2007 do not exceed available resources during that time period, and therefore the first three years of the 2005-2010 TIP are fiscally constrained. Since most of the funds for the last three years of the TIP are unprogrammed, the entire 2005-2010 TIP is fiscally constrained. Reserve projects are shown for the STP-Metro and CMAQ categories. “Reserve” projects are used to handle the ebb and flow of resources available, which may come from project closeouts, obligation limitation revisions, etc. At this time, reserves reflect mostly the “unprogrammed” funds in 2008-2010, although there is a small amount of CMAQ “reserve” in 2007. As reserves accumulate in 2005-2006, they will be allocated to projects by the “potential additional funds” methodology identified in Section I and the

26

waiting lists and associated protocols in Appendix C. Reserves that accumulate for 2007 and beyond will be programmed through the next TIP. The TIP document also serves as a means to convey information on the implementation status of projects programmed in the 2003-2008 TIP. To date, the 2003-2008 TIP has been amended more than 25 times. Table 4 shows major projects (total cost greater than $5 million) anticipated in the originally adopted 2003-2008 TIP to be completed in 2003 or 2004, for which funds have been obligated but construction is not yet substantially complete (in other words, the project is “underway”). Table 4 also lists major projects from the originally adopted 2003-2008 TIP that have been substantially delayed such that major elements have been moved back to the 2005-2010 TIP horizon, or deferred to a time period beyond 2005-2010. Table 5, which will be prepared after the end of the fiscal year, will list projects that were originally scheduled to be obligated as part of the 2003-2008 TIP, but did not meet that timeline. While these projects were not obligated, CDOT will reserve past obligation authority for them. The other projects from the originally adopted 2003-2008 TIP (i.e., those not listed in Tables 4 or 5) have been implemented in 2003 and 2004.

IV. THE 2005-2010 PROGRAM Project Descriptions Exhibit 2, at the end of this section, includes descriptions for all projects included in the 2005-2010 TIP, including those in the STP-Enhancement pool. Exhibit 2 descriptions are in order by TIP project number. See Table 1, Table 2, Appendix A, or the Figure 2 map to find the project number for specific projects. Descriptive information on project scope, location, support of Metro Vision 2020 goals, and other transportation issues is included. Larger TIP projects include a detailed project description indicating the current status and when the project will be open to the public, a map showing the project location, funding (past, present and future programming), and project support for Metro Vision 2020 core elements or other transportation issues. The upper portion of each description sheet includes a project title, TIP and State TIP identification numbers, sponsor, project type, project scope, and location map as appropriate. The title is a brief descriptor of the project location. For DRCOG-selected projects, the scope identifies all elements for which points were awarded. Each project is identified in terms of the project functions it fulfills: 1. Maintain Existing System: highway reconstruction and resurfacing, transit vehicle

rehabilitation and replacement, and bridge reconstruction and replacement projects. 2. Air Quality: projects that support air quality such as PM10 reduction measures and

other CM/AQ funded projects. 3. Mobility Management: projects that relieve traffic congestion by reducing travel

demand, encouraging alternative forms of transportation, and making traffic operation improvements.

4. New System Capacity: roadway and transit projects that provide a continuous

network including roadway widening, new roads, new interchanges, and new transit facilities.

5. System Enhancement: nonmotorized travel modes such as bicycle and pedestrian

trails, and projects that enhance aesthetics and scenic values, historic preservation and archaeology and water quality.

The center of each project description page indicates the Metro Vision core elements and responses to other Transportation Issues that the project supports. Projects may support one or more of the six core elements of Metro Vision and one or more of the

three responses to Transportation Issues. This information is included to show the relationship of the project to Metro Vision. Funding sources are listed at the bottom of each project description page. The total project funding is the sum of funds previously programmed before fiscal 2005, plus funding shown for fiscal 2005 through 2010 in this TIP, plus projected future funding beyond that shown in this TIP (Previously Programmed + TIP Funding + Future Funding = Total Project Funding)2. The most likely federal funding source applied to each project is identified.
