Advancing Transportation Safety and Expansion
GHG Planning Standard
GHG Planning Standard introduced in 2022 to encourage more
travel choices, more multimodal options, and reduce GHG
emissions through planning for the future transportation system.
One policy effort, out of eight major efforts identified in the
Colorado GHG Pollution Reduction Roadmap, that has a goal of
collectively reducing GHG emissions from transportation sector.
о
Implementation of the planning standard is estimated to
contribute 1.5 million metric tons (MMT) of GHG
pollution reduction out of the total goal of reducing 12.7
MMT of GHG pollution from the transportation sector by
2030, as outlined in the Colorado GHG Roadmap.
Results so far:
Inclusion of more multimodal transportation options in
the state including bus rapid transit corridors and
expansion of the Bustang Family of Services.
Larger share of transportation dollars going to
multimodal transportation projects.
117 of the 370 CDOT Ten-Year Plan Projects are
transit projects or have transit elements.

The planning standard will help guide investment
decisions in the next update of the state's 10-Year
Plan and new regional transportation plans from
MPO's over the next two years.
