BLUE RIBBON TRANSPORTATION PANEL MEETS ON TUESDAY
Gov. Bill Ritter's blue ribbon transportation panel will meet in Denver on Tuesday at the Loews Hotel, 4150 E. Mississippi Ave.
Gov. Ritter convened the 30-member Transportation Finance and Implementation Panel earlier this year to explore the state's transportation revenue challenges. The state's primary revenue sources are declining while demand and the costs of construction and maintenance are rising. Final recommendations are due to Gov. Ritter by the end of the year.
Following Tuesday's meeting, the next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 25 at the Colorado History Museum in Denver.
