The RTP sets the path for the next 25 years!

Every five years the Regional Transportation Planning Office updates the long-range transportation plan for Mesa County. Over the past 7 months, we have worked with staff, stakeholders and the public to update the 2045 Regional Transportation Plan so that we are Moving Swiftly to 2050 for the residents and visitors to Mesa County.

The update ensures the following:

1. That the vision, goals, and priorities reflect the desires of the community.
2. That the region is in compliance with Federal regulations in order to qualify for Federal transportation funding.
3. That projects (roadway, multimodal, etc.) are appropriately prioritized and fiscally constrained for implementation.
4. That data used to inform the process is up to date and accurate to support the decision making process.

2050 GVRTP Vision Statement

Communities in the Grand Valley will be connected through a safe and accessible transportation system that is designed, built, and maintained for users of all ages, and abilities who drive, walk, bike, roll, take transit, deliver freight, or travel by other modes.
