Times are changing at the Colorado Department of Transportation according to a new article published in the Denver Post this week.
According to the report:

Proposed new greenhouse gas rules would transform the way transportation planning happens in Colorado by requiring CDOT itself and planners in its five major metropolitan regions to meet targets for reduced emissions from passenger vehicles.
