Highway debris represents a traffic safety problem that requires a prompt response from state or local transportation agencies. The most common practice for debris removal currently is for agency personnel to leave their vehicles and remove the debris by hand in the case of large debris (tires, lumber, freight loss, rock fall) or to sweep traveled lanes shoulders, or intersections in the case of crashes, mechanical failure, or embankment erosion. This exposes agency workers to safety risks, especially on high-speed and/or high-volume roadways. Currently, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has no widely distributed formal guidelines for safely and effectively removing debris from the roadway., Kelly Strong, Rodolfo Valdes-Vasques., "July 2014.", Prepared in cooperation with the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration., Bibliography: page 15., Report No. CDOT-2014-9., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed April 2016)
Colorado Department of Transportation requires revegetation as part of road construction projects. The revegetation of previously disturbed areas from highway construction activities is a critical component to overall site storm water management strategy. Poor revegetation actions during and after construction can lead to difficulty in deactivating storm water construction permits (SCPs). CDOT's specifications for revegetation projects are discussed and practical methods for successful projects are demonstrated., video file MPEG 322MB, The revegetation training was partially developed by Art Hirsch from Terra Logic and Aaron DeJoia from Duraroot/H2 Enterprises., Online resource; title from title screen (viewed August 2019)
In 2011 CDOT developed guidelines for designing bicycle and pedestrian facilities. These are included as chapter 14 of the CDOT roadway design guide. Training covers key components of the guidelines., Colorado Department of Transportation; Sprinkle Consulting ; Felsburg Holt & Ullevig, Inc., video file MPEG 336MB, Theo Petritsch of Sprinkle Consulting presented the training., Produced by Colorado Department of Transportation Bicycle/Pedestrian Program., Online resource; title from title screen (viewed July 2019)
This manual is a guidance to standardize CDOT sign layout practices. CDOT standards are based upon the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (MUTCD) and Standard Highway Signs Book. This manual is to be used in conjunction with the Standard Highway Signs (SHS) Design Guidelines. CDOT Sign Shop capabilities are also explained for guidance on special signing issues., prepared by Colorado Department of Transportation Safety and Traffic Engineering Branch., Description based on online resource; title from PDF cover, viewed November 2015.

Thermal Mapping surveys were carried out on approximately 1000 miles of the Colorado Department of Transportations (CDOTs) roads. The purpose of these surveys was to identify road surface variations across the network to determine whether forecast Thermal Maps or the data from the surveys would be useful to decision-makers in the CDOT regions., Colin Walsh., "June 2014.", Prepared in cooperation with the US Department of Transportation, Federal Highway Administration., Report No. CDOT-2014-4., Online resource; title from PDF cover (viewed April 2016)
