American Recovery & Reinvestment Act (ARRA)

On February 17, 2009 President Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009. As a result, Colorado will receive over $500 million for transportation projects statewide with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) receiving approximately $330 million in federal highway funding and another $12.5 million in federal transit funding for transit projects in non-urbanized rural areas. The ARRA will also provide the additional transportation funding directly to transit agencies and the three large metropolitan planning organizations in the state (Denver Regional Council of Governments, Pikes Peak Area Council of Governments and the North Front Range Metropolitan Planning Organization) for their prioritized projects.

Here is a list of ARRA projects.

As a requirement of ARRA, CDOT had to committ 50% of its funding to projects within 120 days.  This was accomplished in June 2009. The remaining funding must be allocated to projects within one year.

Please check back often as there are always unforeseen circumstances that may require changes to projects/project schedules. If new projects are added or projects are unable to meet schedules, it will be noted here.

*The project status will be updated once a month.
** The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee revised the reporting requirements on information to be submitted by the Governor regarding Transit projects. The State of Colorado no longer reports to Congress on transit funds inside the Transportation Management Areas (TMAs)
