Transit Plans
Transparency, accessibility, and public participation are essential to the transportation planning process. Below are core Grand Valley Transit (GVT) documents for which the Regional Transportation Planning Office is responsible:
Coordinated Plan
This plan outlines the coordination strategies and actions to improve the efficiency and effectiveness by which public transit and human service transportation providers meet the transportation needs of the region through the year 2050.

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Plan
The GVT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program Plan, amended August 2025, strives to create a level playing field, removing barriers and promoting growth for local disadvantaged businesses. We are focused on building a stronger local economy by including DBEs in our contracting and outreach plans.
Notice of Temporary Non-Enforceable DBE Program as per US DOT Interim Final Rule IFR
On October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) amending 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Parts 23 and 26, which governs the DBE program.
In accordance with the IFR, GVT will not enforce DBE goals or any other DBE-specific requirements in existing contracts until the Colorado Unified Certification Program (UCP) certifying agencies and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) complete the reevaluation and recertification process of DBEs that have temporarily lost their certified status.
The USDOT has compiled a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) regarding the IFR and its impacts on existing and future contracts. If this information is of interest to your organization, GVT encourages you to review the full text of the IFR in addition to the regularly updated FAQs.
