What is Freight Planning?
Freight planning ensures the safe and efficient movement of goods across the region. The methods of transporting goods include:
Future Freight Planning
The NFRMPO is currently working on a new version of the Freight Northern Colorado Plan (FNC), set to be published in 2026. The purpose of the FNC is to provide a guide for the improvement of the overall freight system within the North Front Range region. While not required by the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), having a regional freight plan positions the region to evaluate our current freight system and infrastructure and make recommendations for future projects and a foundation to move forward for the pursuit of funds for freight and freight benefiting projects.
