  • RMI analysis indicates that Colorado's plans to add approximately 200 new highway lane-miles over the next decade will likely increase vehicle miles traveled (VMT) and greenhouse gas emissions, contradicting the state's climate goals. The report introduces an induced travel calculator to quantify these impacts, suggesting that road expansion fails to provide long-term congestion relief and instead encourages more frequent and longer trips.
