One of those enterprises, the Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise (NAAPME), has released a draft 10-Year Plan for public comment. <b>Comments are due on or before June 12, 2022 to <a href="mailto:cdot_nonattainmententerprise@state.co.us">cdot_nonattainmententerprise@state.co.us</a>. </b><p></p><p><i>According to the 10-Year Plan:</i></p><p>The Nonattainment Area Air Pollution Mitigation Enterprise
(NAAPME), or Nonattainment Enterprise, is one of four new enterprises created by the Colorado General Assembly through Senate
Bill 21-260. The Enterprise was established by the legislature to
fund projects that help address traffic congestion and reduce the
environmental and health impacts of transportation in areas of
the state that are federally designated as being in nonattainment
with EPA’s air quality standards. The Enterprise is housed within
the Colorado Department of Transportation and managed by a
Board of Directors. </p><p>As required within statute, the Enterprise’s 10-Year plan outlines
the business purpose of the enterprise and establishes the overall direction for the use of these funds through state fiscal year
2031-32. This plan was designed to be flexible to changes in fee
collection and market conditions, community needs, and other
issues that could affect the business purpose of the Enterprise.</p><p>Read the full plan at <a href="https://www.codot.gov/programs/planning/assets/naapme/naapme-10-year-plan-draft-public-review-1-june-2022.pdf">https://www.codot.gov/programs/planning/assets/naapme/naapme-10-year-plan-draft-public-review-1-june-2022.pdf</a>. </p>NFRMPO Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10041943236597506418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414960701261005011.post-2272934636402497292022-05-06T15:49:00.000-06:002022-05-06T15:49:50.148-06:00Air Quality Around the World: AQAW#2022<p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4OiL6tLr-ZK_sKxp4OqsjeQJiqJCMewdefN1ZaFrxNMbpHUeGtmdHeca6BQ2Gya0izZ4kwNiXor0qFWvkvjQL-PV_8SjH8a8_RViZZC2YgitZ_WW29erpLKNuKJBGTayvQhfhJCDmCcvImb5_cHMIKGc07MhLyOVPlc7UTcq13HZwFSWM1LW9EegC0Q/s914/Feature_Ozone_Inline2.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="506" data-original-width="914" height="177" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi4OiL6tLr-ZK_sKxp4OqsjeQJiqJCMewdefN1ZaFrxNMbpHUeGtmdHeca6BQ2Gya0izZ4kwNiXor0qFWvkvjQL-PV_8SjH8a8_RViZZC2YgitZ_WW29erpLKNuKJBGTayvQhfhJCDmCcvImb5_cHMIKGc07MhLyOVPlc7UTcq13HZwFSWM1LW9EegC0Q/s320/Feature_Ozone_Inline2.jpg" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image Credit: <a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/ozone-pollution-grows-but-it-can-be-fixed/">Scientific American</a> </span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Ground-level ozone, an air pollutant of particular concern in the North Front Range, is an issue in many areas around the world.

Attendance at each hearing is open to all, regardless of where you live. Visit <a href="https://www.codot.gov/business/rules/proposed-rules">https://www.codot.gov/business/rules/proposed-rules</a> to learn how to attend upcoming hearings.</p>
The TC's proposed rule focuses on the transportation planning conducted by CDOT and by the five metropolitan planning
organizations (MPOs) in Colorado, including the NFRMPO. The rule would require CDOT and MPOs to adopt transportation
plans that reduce GHG emissions by specified amounts. These plans would be assessed through modeling to determine the estimated future GHG emissions from the on-road transportation system, including planned
transportation investments. If the GHG reduction levels are not met, the rule
would restrict the types of projects eligible to receive certain funding
sources, including some 10-year Plan funds available through CDOT and two
federal funding sources available through MPOs: Congestion Mitigation and Air
Quality (CMAQ) funds and Surface Transportation Block Grant (STBG) funds.<p class="MsoNormal">The NFRMPO is engaging in the TC’s rulemaking process for the GHG rule and is providing comments to support development of a data-driven,
feasible, and effective rule. Information from the NFRMPO on the TC’s proposed
rule, including recordings of presentations provided to the NFRMPO Planning
Council, are available at <a href="https://nfrmpo.org/air-quality/ghg-rulemaking/">https://nfrmpo.org/air-quality/ghg-rulemaking/</a>.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The TC is scheduled to consider adoption of the proposed
rule at their meeting on November 18, 2021. To learn more about the proposed rule, visit <a href="https://www.codot.gov/business/rules/proposed-rules">https://www.codot.gov/business/rules/proposed-rules</a>.

This change follows results of a pilot program allowing e-bikes at Devil's Backbone Open Space as well as extensive public input. The policy will update a policy adopted in 2011 allowing mobility assistance devices on all Larimer County trails and open spaces. County rangers may enforce the new policy by asking e-bike users about a mobility disability; however, rangers may not ask for details on the specific condition.<div><br /></div><div>Public opinion, greater accessibility for those with disabilities, and support for alternative modes of transportation all played major roles in the County's decision.

The bus stop will be located in the middle of I-25, similar to the mobility hub being built at Kendall Parkway, north of US34. A park-n-ride will be built with special tunnels dug underneath I-25 to connect to the bus stop. The bus stops can serve Bustang and other regional transit. The location is close to a large new development, which could eventually house 8,000 people.</p><p>Read more <a href="https://www.kunc.org/news/2021-05-06/pandemic-stimulus-money-is-helping-build-bus-stops-in-the-middle-of-i-25-in-northern-colorado">in this interview and article</a> from KUNC.</p>NFRMPO Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10041943236597506418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414960701261005011.post-32814242141169912052021-05-13T15:10:00.002-06:002021-05-13T15:10:54.509-06:00CDOT looking for input on US 34 and WCR 17 intersection improvement designs<p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nFn5mXmCMNLpcMt2bJiBkO5pBd84ZZbVikLEzeY6Ycr8zU9BHD37AqaFBi2qxgkYpSChtBMTMNNvAXit16L6ptcu_jB9SWZD83LDSXNP51RSYK_sUBrPY_XOXeRA6dv7N2sXdnqxidR9/s484/US34+Crashes.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="261" data-original-width="484" height="216" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0nFn5mXmCMNLpcMt2bJiBkO5pBd84ZZbVikLEzeY6Ycr8zU9BHD37AqaFBi2qxgkYpSChtBMTMNNvAXit16L6ptcu_jB9SWZD83LDSXNP51RSYK_sUBrPY_XOXeRA6dv7N2sXdnqxidR9/w400-h216/US34+Crashes.JPG" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: xx-small;">Image Credit: CDOT</span><br /></td></tr></tbody></table>Do you use the intersection of US 34 and WCR 17? If so, CDOT wants to hear from you. The intersection has been identified as a high crash location along US34, and designers are looking at ways to improve safety and mobility. Three alternatives have been developed, which are described in a short video available at <a href="https://www.codot.gov/projects/us34-cr17-intersection">https://www.codot.gov/projects/us34-cr17-intersection</a>. There is also a brief survey in English and Spanish, available at the same link, for the public to provide their input.<br /></p><p>As noted in the <a href="https://www.codot.gov/news/2021/may-2021/us34-wcr17-seeking-input">CDOT press release</a>, no funding is currently identified for project implementation, so it is unknown when construction could begin. However, due to the importance of the intersection, CDOT is preparing the design so the project can advance quickly once funding is identified.<br /></p>NFRMPO Staffhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10041943236597506418noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7414960701261005011.post-12442799698786503122021-05-11T13:36:00.001-06:002021-05-11T13:36:39.802-06:00Greeley kicks off Greeley on the Go, looking for feedback on plan<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HS72hrsu-eHJV-b2mypWNHlOPehxJsE3YC5XyDD3VmqiOACZsgY2Qn6bQP3n8qvPKutppw4C4-2iUBjRb3vwaarOjMnI2-rHnWKILd_QS6E2jFlDIhLHgxRj0PJ6ck1VFBV13vVssEzf/s1329/greeleygo.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="879" data-original-width="1329" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5HS72hrsu-eHJV-b2mypWNHlOPehxJsE3YC5XyDD3VmqiOACZsgY2Qn6bQP3n8qvPKutppw4C4-2iUBjRb3vwaarOjMnI2-rHnWKILd_QS6E2jFlDIhLHgxRj0PJ6ck1VFBV13vVssEzf/w640-h424/greeleygo.PNG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p><br /></p><p>Greeley is updating its Transportation Master Plan, called <i>Greeley on the Go</i>.
