The Northern Colorado Truck Mobility Study Non-Route-Based Strategies (NRBSs) is an effort to fulfill the goals of Ballot Initiative 200, passed by Fort Collins voters in November 1999. Phase I, which studied both NRBSs and route alternative strategies, was concluded in December 2001, with recommendations that additional evaluations be directed at NRBSs. Phase II of the Northern Colorado Truck Mobility Study moved forward with these recommendations and investigated these strategies as possible techniques for implementation by the City.
To realize the intent of Ballot Initiative 200, Phase II was designed to:
- Encourage all non-local, through truck traffic to use the Interstate route
-
Minimize the impact of the SH 14/US 287 truck route on Fort Collins area businesses, neighborhoods, and residents
- Determine the feasibility and potential sustainability of various NRBSs
These goals are being met through a one-year non-route-based strategies implementation program and an evaluation of these strategies and the program including surveys of community opinion of the issue.
The one-year implementation plan includes a brochure, highway signs, news releases, public service announcements, bylined articles, radio advertising, and safety meetings. As the project continues, additional information and outreach opportunities will be posted on this site.
