Boulder County Traffic Problems Examined on Internet
Users Given Opportunity to Weigh in at Web Site

BOULDER, CO - The Boulder County Consortium of Cities posted results of their interactive web site, http://www.co.boulder.co.us/trafficjam/, addressing growing traffic problems in the area. The site was meant to both inform and solicit opinions from residents.

The site devotes sections to six travel areas: Diagonal Highway, Arapahoe Road, Boulder Turnpike, U.S. 287, Boulder Canyon and the North Foothills Highway. Each section reports on the current status of the travel corridor, giving figures on travel time, speed and trips per day. Each section also speculates on future statistics, in light of increased development and congestion.

While the web site offers a report on traffic woes plaguing Boulder County, it also offers remedies as suggested by the Regional Transportation Task Force. The Task Force hoped that users would voice their opinions through the web site. The Boulder County Consortium of Cities solicited resident input with an interactive on-line survey, asking residents to respond to various scenarios on a five point scale. With the state and federal governments unlikely to produce sufficient funds for solutions, Boulder County sought out public support for necessary tax measures.

Boulder County web developer, Total Site, Inc., produced the site, giving careful consideration to the on-line survey and the user experience in general. Since its inception in 1998, Total Site has taken on web projects in a variety of industries. In addition to government contracts, Total Site also boasts expertise in corporate web identities, ecommerce solutions, web applications, internet marketing and email management.
