SUMMARY AND BACKGROUND OF SUBJECT MATTER:
The Denver Regional Council of Governments (“DRCOG”) allocates certain funding for transportation improvements as part of their Transportation Improvement Program (“TIP”). DRCOG has modified the TIP funding distribution process, and beginning in 2018 they will provide a certain allocation of funding to County geographies (“sub regional funding”) within the DRCOG region and will provide a certain allocation of funding to the DRCOG region (“regional funding”).
The Town of Erie is participating in both the Boulder County and Southwest Weld County Transportation Improvement Program Forums. The Board of Trustee liaisons to DRCOG serve as voting members on the Forums.
DRCOG’s modified TIP process requires Agencies to propose a portfolio of projects to utilize the regional and sub regional funding to the DRCOG Board of Directors that are consistent with the policy direction provided by the DRCOG Board of Director and applicable federal requirements. The coordinated efforts of the Agencies is necessary to implement the regional and sub regional funding allocation process for the DRCOG TIP.
