Front Range Travel Counts

The Front Range Travel Counts survey is being conducted right now along Colorado's Front Range. It is the first in-depth study of urban household travel behavior covering all of Colorado's Front Range.

If you're asked to participate, please say yes. This is your chance to influence the traffic in your region by playing a part in solving the problem. Your responses will help the survey's project partners plan for future transportation needs in the Front Range.

Who is sponsoring the survey?

The four Metropolitan Planning Organizations (MPOs) along the Front Range are sponsoring the survey. They include:

They are joined by:

the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT),
the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and
the Federal Highway Administration.

What is the Front Range Travel Counts survey?

The survey is looking at urban household travel behavior along Colorado's Front Range. Before this effort, surveys were done separately in each geographic area. The results of this effort will help the survey partners plan for future transportation needs in the Front Range. Approximately 12,000 households along the Front Range will be randomly selected and asked to identify where and how they traveled on a specific, designated travel day (24 hours). Later phases of the study will look at commercial vehicle trips, and trips to special facilities, such as airports.

Where is the survey being conducted?

The survey began in the North Front Range area in August 2009 and will run through December 2009. Surveys began in the Denver metro area in September 2009 and will conclude in spring 2010. Surveys will be conducted in the Colorado Springs and Pueblo areas in spring and fall 2010, respectively.
