Kevin Hall, Chair, SWTPR, and Assistant Director of Community Development, City of Durango presented to the committee. Mr. Hall said that the SWTPR has a high level of participation from its members, and noted that he also serves on the Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee (STAC). He said that both the SWTPR and the STAC frequently discuss issues that are important to local communities and the state as a whole. He discussed the importance of planning and partnership with CDOT, being smart with the funds that are available, and thinking outside the box. Mr. Hall spoke to the funding issues that the state has and the future ways that this issue can be remedied. He spoke to CDOT's goal of becoming the best Department of Transportation in the nation, and how collaboration with local governments could allow it to do this.
