Colorado Department of Transportation Public Relations) "Toto,we're not in Kansas anymore."While the changes in Colorado's climate and environments may not be as dramatic as Dorothy's trip to Oz,they often catch visitors—even locals—off guard and unprepared.And severe Colorado storms, like those that pummeled the Front Range this year, can leave stranded travelers wishing they had a Yellow Brick Road to guide their journeys. Over the past 10 years or so,Colorado has suffered the same decreasing amounts of snow and rain as other regions have. So when the aptly named"Mother of All Snow Storms" (MOASS) hit Denver and the state's Front Range in 2003, people were simply out of the practice of dealing with snow and ice in their towns and on their highways. Vehicles literally piled up on the roadways, livestock died and people were stranded not only on the roads, but in their homes. Highway maintenance workers from the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT)traveled from all over the state to the Front Range, bringing extra equipment and manpower to battle what Mother Nature had not delivered in a long time. But the 2006-07 winter brought back"Son of MOASS,"and as sequels typically go, this was a bad one. In fact,for five weeks in a row, one storm after another rolled through the Front Range and eastern plains leaving behind up to three feet of snow and drifts ranging from 12 to 20 feet. The multiple snowstorms put CDOT maintenance crews to the test;most worked everyday for a minimum of five weeks. Out on the plains of southeastern and eastern Colorado,crews battled whiteout conditions and snowdrifts,which frequently closed the majority of highways in the area,including a 150-mile stretch of Interstate 1-70 from Denver to Kansas. In the Denver metro area, crews dealt with similar conditions, all in the presence of frustrated and impatient motorists. Piles of snow along highway shoulders and ramps had to be removed in order to make room for the next snowstorms. Even travel into and out of Denver International Airport was cut off for days. Unfortunately,for people not wishing to wait at the airport for the next flight out,their travel home or to a hotel was also cut off,as surrounding Interstates were closed. By January,every maintenance patrol in the Front Range was faced with untimely product shortages and numerous equipment breakdowns. Crews were dispensing large amounts of solid and liquid deicers week after week,and supplies were already low after two December blizzards that hit back-to-back during the Christmas holiday. CDOT mechanics were repairing nearly 15 trucks a week due to the unusual amount of activity. From December 18,2006.through January 8.2007, COOT spent more than$7.1 million in winter maintenance activities that included supplies,manpower,overtime hours and equipment repairs. (A maintenance section's typical winter budget is between$3 and S4 million—COOT has nine maintenance sections across the state.) On the morning of January 6,2007,CDOT avalanche crews received a call that there had been an avalanche on US 40 over Berthoud Pass,a highly-traveled highway leading to one of Colorado's premier ski resorts. Crews had conducted successful avalanche mitigation a few days prior, so the incident came as a surprise.The avalanche occurred at approximately 10 AM.,crossing the highway and taking two cars with it.The vehicles were pushed over the edge and down the slope.Amazingly,the eight passengers in the vehicles all survived with fairly minor injuries.The slide was estimated to be 15 feet deep and 300 feet wide.Crews cleared snow and conducted additional avalanche control work, reopening US 40 by 8 PM that night. This has indeed been an extraordinary winter in Colorado—one that's taken both travelers and COOT maintenance workers literally by storm. But for those who patrol some 23,000 lane miles on through Colorado's Rocky Mountain highways,"There's no place like home!" CDOT's FY 2007 Annual Report was produced by the Office of Public Relations 4201 E.Arkansas Ave., Rm. 277, Denver, CO 80222 (303)757-9228 Editor, Nancy Shanks, (970)385-1428,nancy.shanksQdot.state.co.us Printed by CDOT's Printing& Visual Communications Center COOT web site:www.dot.state.co.us MISSION The mission of the Colorado Department of Transportation is to provide the best multimodal transportation system for Colorado that most effectively moves people,goods and information. VISION To enhance the quality of life and the environment of the citizens of Colorado by creating an integrated transporta- tion system that focuses on moving people and goods by offering convenient linkages among modal choices. VALUES COOT values safety,people, integrity. customer service, excellence and respect. COVER PHOTO: COOT Maintenance crews and equipment came from all over the state to assist with the storm that pummeled the Front Range in December 2007. (This photo on 1-25 in Denver, taken by Greg Hayes, COOT Region 6 Maintenance, was featured in Public Roads Magazine's "2007 10 Best Winter Maintenance Photo"contest.) • A Message from the Governor Transportation in the 21st Century: Keep Colorado Moving A sound infrastructure, including a multimodal transportation network, is essential to serving Colorado's growing popula- tion and sustaining a vibrant economy.Whether used for commerce, recreation,agriculture or for getting our children to and from school, a strong and integrated transportation system is vital. Unfortunately,Colorado's highway system is deteriorating and failing to meet our needs, Many roads and bridges are in a desperate state of disrepair and traffic congestion is growing worse. Congestion in urban areas costs each of us$1,500 annually in lost productivity and time.Additionally, poor road conditions cost motorists$264 a year in operating and repair expenses. The Colorado Department of Transportation and others have spent considerable time and money studying our transporta- tion needs, including more than$100 million on environmental reviews and plans to improve safety and traffic flow on US 36, 1-70, 1-25, US 287, US 550 and US 160, among other important highways. It is now time to make wise use of these invest- ments. As we move forward, I will be guided by the following principles:assure that currently available funds are spent efficiently; seek adequate funding to maintain existing infrastructure,alleviate congestion and improve mobility; investigate additional funding mechanisms;collaborate and seek input from all stakeholders; improve relationships among CDOT, regional planning organizations, local governments,transit providers,and other transportation agencies;and structure transportation invest- ments to protect Colorado's environment and Coloradans'quality of life, including pursuing multi-modal transportation solutions. As Governor, I will bring a fresh, balanced approach to how we invest in our infrastructure,plan for future growth and protect the environment. Simply stated,the process for funding our transportation system is antiquated and needs a 21st Century overhaul. During my first 90 days in office(beginning January 1,2007), I convened a Colorado Transportation Finance and Imple- mentation Panel to examine and recommend solutions that will allow us to better prioritize and implement our infrastructure needs.The committee's work began on April 5,with a Transportation Summit that brought stakeholders together from around the state to address the transportation challenges and opportunities that lie ahead.The panel hosted 13 discussions across Colorado,gaining valuable input towards identifying cost-effective transportation strategies and exploring the revenue streams that can support them. The panel has evaluated current spending practices,the CDOT 2030 Plan,and air quality issues;assessed Colorado's transportation fiscal structure,and funding and priority-setting processes;and proposed new funding mechanisms and priorities for existing and future projects. It will take a full range of local, regional and statewide strategies to produce the 21st Century transportation infrastructure needed for Colorado to thrive. I welcome the challenge—and look forward to working with many involved to find solutions. Governor Bill Ritter t {s� b h• •'. � e ra Litt ir rc'�Png, .p C As the Colorado Department of Transportation's new I am pleased to have had the opportunity to serve as executive director(since January 2007), I am pleased to chair of the Colorado Transportation Commission during the present our Fiscal Year 2007 Annual Report.

(Funding Sources continued on page 9) 8 Colorado Tolling Enterprise A.T. Creation of the Colorado Tolling Enterprise(CTE)was %'j, authorized by HB 02-1310/SB 179. It is a government- , "' - - owned nonprofit business operating within,and as a division of, CDOT.The CTE exists to finance, construct, operate, • f" - regulate and maintain a system of tolling highways in • Colorado. Legislation allows for tolling of new capacity only. r The CTE's first project is the 1-25 HOV/tolled Express Lanes,which opened in June 2006. This project converted $ existing high occupancy vehicle(HOV)lanes on 1-25 north r • • of Denver into high occupancy toll (HOT)lanes as directed by 1999 legislation. Carpools, buses and motorcycles still travel free of charge, but solo drivers can pay a toll to I-25 COSMIX in Colorado Springs-Completed early 2008 access the facility for a quicker, more reliable trip. The lanes are very successful and far exceeded first- year revenue and user projections. Revenues of$2.2 million represent a 180 percent increase over the first-year projec- tions of$800,000.To limit the number of solo drivers so as not to adversely impact HOVs,toll rates vary by time of . day. Proceeds go towards the facility's snow removal, s , maintenance and operations costs,and repayment of a loan to construct the conversion. Previously,the Regional Transportation District funded much of the maintenance costs of the facility. The CTE is continuing to make progress on required 'y , environmental studies for several other potential toll corridor projects.These studies will determine the best solutions for improving these corridors. In cooperation with the public and local elected officials,the CTE will determine if tolling is an appropriate revenue stream to help fund these solutions and promote long-term congestion management. .;7„,„1/40.4„:„4.4„m”- Each potential toll project being studied has unique goals for managing traffic and providing long-term conges- US2.7 =erth•u• =y•ass-C•m•lete• in2••7 tion relief.There is no single approach to these projects and operational aspects will vary among future toll facilities.

Maintenance and rock fall crews worked together when a slide occurred on 1-70 in Debeque Canyon on September 16, 2006. The eastbound lanes of 1-70 were closed for approximately 24 hours until COOT crews placed eastbound 1-70 in a temporary alignment on the westbound lanes.

COOT closed the 1-70 Glenwood Canyon Hanging Lake Tunnel eastbound bore on March 30, 2007, when an inspection revealed that a crack had expanded since it was first discovered in July of 2006. The 60-foot high tunnel control building houses tunnel and traffic monitoring equipment, staff offices, a parking structure and ventilation systems. The crack was located in the ceiling slab of an outside transition tunnel that links the control building to the tunnel bore(the portion that is excavated through rock). CDOT crews and contractors conducted extensive work to fix the crack. The repairs have totaled approximately$6 million and the tunnel bore was opened to traffic on October 2, 2007. y +ate t a '..p # S t,`, ti l y �tam` + v �• K •fie * . -$:',*--,,, ,aR -�.4'�. n fX ` a -,\ ,. ,+Pr' ,. a �a 4.) _ _ a a.Ak+e� c:a�ue'+�xr�rassera� .eie�es... -^"."""_ -- v'. • S • f_y `.N R`a'h '.x \ ...� s E � F . u £ g H: . .c ri 7 +e6hr a . r ` , cal—.
