CDR Assists CDOT Reevaluate Program
Andrea Meneghel, CDR Associates Program Manager, didn’t have to travel far for his recent work this summer, but he did have to travel often!
During May, June and July, Andrea hit the road every Monday through Thursday and facilitated meetings across the state of Colorado in an effort to reevaluate how local governments and the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) work together on local projects that include federal dollars.
While traveling throughout Colorado with a team from CDOT headquarters and a Federal Highway Administration representative, Andrea met with elected officials and staff from large cities, counties, Metropolitan Planning Organizations, rural towns, mountain communities and everywhere in between to gather input on how to strengthen the ongoing relationships between Local Agencies and CDOT, as well as to identify ways to improve the process and to increase the effectiveness of the program.
As a result of active facilitation, a task force has been convened to recommend how resources can be utilized within the Local Agency Program to efficiently implement transportation improvements in communities throughout Colorado.
To learn more about this project, or if your community, organization or agency could benefit from a similar facilitated process, contact Andrea at (303) 442-7367 x221 or ameneghel@mediate.org
