What is a road of regional significance? 🤔

Roads of regional significance, or RORS, are corridors in Yuma County that have substantial regional impacts through meeting the following criteria:

• Serving high traffic volumes, freight movement, public transit ridership, and active transportation volumes
• Enabling continuous movement of people and goods through multiple communities
• Supplying drivers with access to regional destinations in Yuma County, such as employment centers or major recreational sites

Through the RORS Study, the YMPO has identified critical roads throughout the region. Now, we want your input on their proposed improvements!

You can provide your feedback on the different types of proposed projects through our interactive map here: https://tinyurl.com/347by5mr
