Description
Most severely congested corridors on the DRCOG Regional Roadway System in 2050. Using outputs from the regional transportation model, DRCOG estimates future volumes and roadway projects included in the regional transportation plan, and calculates the level of congestion for each segment to determine which corridors will be the most congested in 2050. The calculation includes four metrics to determine the severity of congestion: - Severity: How bad does congestion get on the roadway during rush hour? - Duration: How many hours per day is the roadway congested - Magnitude: How many people (traffic volume) are affected by congestion on the roadway? - Reliability: How often do crashes or incidents occur on the Roadway.
Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) provides data in multiple formats to support a wide range of applications, including Shapefile, GeoJSON, WMS, and KML. Shapefile and KML formats are available as downloadable files. GeoJSON and WMS are provided as URL services.
Please note that spatial reference information for GeoJSON and WMS services may need to be adjusted before use in web mapping applications. For questions or assistance accessing or using the data, please email geospatial@drcog.org.
