DENVER — Starting tonight, the Colorado Department of Transportation is hosting six telephone town halls, during which the public can ask questions and give input on a variety of transportation issues.
Between Monday and June 13, residents in all 64 counties will be called at random through an automated system and invited to take part in a regional town hall to discuss the state’s transportation needs, important projects or initiatives and funding.

The calls will reach out to approximately 350,000 people. After answering the phone, the call will automatically connect to the meeting.
