Public Comment Opportunities

The purpose of the hearing is to notify the public and receive input on Air Quality Conformity Determinations for the North Front Range Transportation Planning Region (TPR) and a portion of the Upper Front Range TPR. These conformity determinations rely on the regional emissions analysis conducted for the 2050 Regional Transportation Plan (RTP) Amendment and address the North Front Range MPO FY2026-2029 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).

In lieu of offering oral comments during the hearing, written comments may be submitted. These comments must be received at the NFRMPO address noted below or via email no later than Wednesday, December 3, 2025.

The following geographic areas are addressed by the conformity determination:

The Fort Collins Carbon Monoxide (CO) Maintenance Area

Portions of Larimer and Weld counties within the Denver-North Front Range 8-Hour Ozone Nonattainment Area (specifically the North Front Range TPR and a portion of the Upper Front Range TPR which, together, are called the “Northern Subarea”)

The NFRMPO is required to determine conformity of the Regional Transportation Plan and Transportation Improvement Program with federal and state air quality laws and regulations before federal-aid transportation projects proceed. The Federal Highway Administration and the Federal Transit Administration must concur on the conformity determination.

The reports are available for review at the NFRMPO office at 419 Canyon Avenue, Suite 300, Fort Collins, CO 80521 and can be found at https://nfrmpo.org/public-comment/
