AVERAGE
ANNUAL DAILY TRAFFIC
Source:
Colorado Department of Transportation
Potential Target: To maintain average annual
daily traffic levels at or below 80% of roadway
capacity through improvements to transportation
infrastructure and transit systems.
Synopsis: The ability to circulate between
and within communities safely and expediently
contributes to the quality of commerce in the
Yampa Valley. Traffic counts along US Highway
40 and State Highway 131 have increased each year
since 1990, with the most serious congestion occurring
in Steamboat Springs, where traffic levels are
at 83% of roadway capacity on Lincoln Avenue.
Efforts to improve capacity include consolidating
lodging shuttle services with Steamboat Springs
Transit (SST), and increasing SST service through
additional buses and more routes.
