| 摘要： | Don Hunt, Executive Director of the Colorado Department of Transportation (DOT), welcomed conference participants to Colorado. He highlighted a few facts about the state and discussed some of the challenges faced by Colorado DOT and its strategic focus areas. Hunt noted the importance of planning in the state. He also recognized the hard work of the conference planning committee and TRB in organizing the excellent conference program. Hunt covered the following topics in his presentation: Colorado has 25 designated scenic byways, the most of any state. The Trail Ridge Road in the Rocky Mountain National Park has the highest elevation of any paved road in the United States. The Eisenhower Memorial Tunnel is the highest freeway tunnel in the United States. Colorado DOT is required to handle a diverse range of emergency conditions from rock falls to avalanches to major snow stormsto maintain a safe roadway system for the traveling public and freight. The state highway system includes 9,146 centerline miles and 23,061 lane miles and accommodates 27.4 billion vehicle miles of travel annually. The Regional Transit District, which is responsible for public transportation in the Denver metropolitan area, operates bus, light rail transit, park-and-ride lots, and other services. The Regional Transit District, Colorado DOT, other public agencies, and private-sector groups partner on various projects. The Denver Union Station is being redeveloped into a premier multimodal hub for transportation in the Denver area and the state. |
