Because Colorado faces significant mobility, environmental and economic challenges in the 21st Century. The Colorado transportation system must be reshaped to fit the needs of our expanding population and greater number of visitors. High Speed Monorail technology is the most cost effective means to improve accessibility and safety, decrease congestion and environmental impacts and still improve the business and residential climate of the state. Highway widening, the only serious alternative, will be overrun before completion and negatively impact the beauty of Colorful Colorado.
