Colorado's highway system just can't catch a break.<\/p>\n
What's happening: It ranked 37th in the nation for overall condition and cost-effectiveness, according to the latest annual report from the Reason Foundation, a libertarian organization.<\/p>\n
Why it matters: Colorado lawmakers began pumping millions of dollars more into the state's transportation system in recent years, but not enough to make a dent in the rankings.<\/p>\n
What they found: \"Colorado ranks poorly, not because it is worst in any one category. Rather the state ranks middle to poor in most every category,\" the report found.<\/p>\n
The other side: Colorado Department of Transportation officials took issue with the report's analysis of outdated pavement data from 2018 and 2019 that excludes recent improvements.<\/p>\n
