DRCOG is the regional planning commission for the Denver metro region. Metro Vision is the region's current plan to guide growth, transportation and environmental quality into the future. Metro Vision is the foundation of all of the regional council's long-range planning activities.

DRCOG provides community planning services for smaller local governments with limited staff or technical expertise. DRCOG can help with a variety of planning projects.

DRCOG helps the region plan for natural disasters and maintains the Regional Natural Hazard Mitigation Plan designed to help local governments lessen the potential impacts of natural hazards.

Several regional maps and datasets useful for planning are located at Regional Data and Maps.

DRCOG has several publications that address regional planning issues.

The Metro Vision Issues Committee is the primary policy committee of DRCOG. It provides recommendations to the regional council Board of Directors for action on Metro Vision issues, plans and implementation strategies; transportation projects; and water quality issues.

The calendar for regional planning Events and Meetings can be found here.

The Mile High Compact is a voluntary agreement among Denver metro area cities and counties to manage growth throughout the region by adhering to the principles outlined in Metro Vision.
