Northwest Colorado Council of Governments (NWCCOG) represents 30 municipalities and counties across a vast, mountainous and rural portion of the state.  Our region is heavily dependent upon Interstate 70 and a matrix of state highways for primary access for business goods, daily travel and tourism.  Residents from across the state, as well as thousands of visitors from beyond our borders depend on the quality of those roads to travel here safely and efficiently.  Travel anchors our economy.  There may be no clearer marker of a state’s fiscal health than the quality of its roads.  By this measure, Colorado is falling behind. It is a problem that costs taxpayers individually through wear and tear on their vehicles when insufficiently funded together.
