Vision
Statement:
By 2017 the Roaring Fork region will significantly reduce dependence
on oil through a resource efficient, climate friendly, multimodal
transportation system with a regional express line unimpeded by
traffic and weather, competitive with the
private vehicle in terms of convenience, travel time, and quality. |

Transportation is
the largest and fastest-growing source of CO2 in the United
States among all energy sectors. More than two thirds of all oil used
in the U.S. goes to transportation, and in western states
transportation accounts for more than 85% of oil use.
Over 100 people attended this June
22, 2007 workshop to learn about and discuss
What a climate friendly, energy
independent transportation system would like look like and how we can
make sure state transportation policy and financing discussions are
connected to state goals for creating a New Energy Economy.
This workshop explored how to move
Colorado toward a more energy efficient transportation system, financing
solutions, and best practices from around the country and world.
