The NFRMPO is currently working on a Freight Northern Colorado update for 2026
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.
2026 FNC Project Timeline
Note: Timeline valid as of September 10th, 2024.
The NFRMPO is developing an Outreach Strategy for the 2026 FNC that will ensure a clear, concise set of tools for engagement, both virtual and in-person.
Current Freight Planning
The most recent FNC was adopted by the NFRMPO Planning Council on August 1, 2019, and includes the following:
- A summary of the existing freight related plans at local, regional, state, and national levels
- Analysis of existing freight infrastructure and performance of each freight transportation mode
- Summary of emerging freight trends
- Updated tools, analysis, and guidance supporting local and regional planning and funding efforts
- Recommendations for future projects and monitoring system performance
