Innovative U.S. 36 Express Lanes Project Reduces Traffic Congestion by Offering Mobility Choices
Editor’s Note: The following article is one in a series of six profiles of winners of NCPPP’s 2017 National Public-Private Partnership Awards, which recognize organizations and individuals that have gone above and beyond to advance the concept and implementation of P3s across the country. The winners will be honored during P3Connect in Miami Beach in January.
If you asked David Spector which of the improvements made to U.S. 36 in Colorado have benefited the most travelers, you might expect him to pause and ponder because there are so many choices.
Would he mention the new walking, cycling or bus rapid transit (BRT) options on this 18-mile segment? Or would he single out the increased safety provided by a new diverging diamond interchange at a bridge that crosses U.S. 36? Maybe top billing would go to the ability of the state’s first active traffic management system, which monitors traffic flow and speed limits, to provide traveler information and improve incident analysis.
