Persons should not rely solely on the sex offender registry as a safeguard against perpetrators of sexual assault in their communities.

Hate Traffic? Like Having a Job?
Then Get Involved in Connecting our Communities!
Can you name the one thing that:
• Affects the length of your daily commute?
• Keeps our local economy going?
• Keeps you safe when traveling around Mesa County?
• Impacts the air we all breathe?
The answer? Transportation. Whether you drive, walk, ride your bike or ride the bus, our transportationsystem in Mesa County has a huge impact on us all.
That’s why people from all around the region need to speak up and tell us what their priorities are for thefuture of transportation within—and between—the communities and rural areas of Mesa County. The 2035Regional Transportation Plan, being launched today, will address how all county residents connect wherethey live to where they work, shop and play—and how much we all pay for those connections.
“Transportation affects everyone, every day in many ways,” according to Todd Hollenbeck, Manager ofMesa County’s Regional Transportation Planning Office. “It affects our time, our health, our jobs, ourfamilies and our finances. That’s probably why we complain about traffic so much."
Now is our chance to turn complaints into action. “This plan is not just about how we travel and how we aregoing to pay for it,” said County Commissioner Steve Acquafresca, member of the Grand Valley Regional Transportation Committee (the group leading the planning effort). “It’s mostly about how transportationsupports our economy and healthy communities. We need to hear from people all across the region to point us in the right direction.” The plan also makes Mesa County and our local communities eligible for federal highway funding.

The Regional Transportation Planning Office is a partnership of local governments in Mesa County thatenables funding for growing and improved regional transportation needs. This long-range plan will help chart the future between now and 2035 for Clifton, Colbran, DeBeque, Fruita, Fruitvale, Gateway, GladePark, Grand Junction, Loma, Mesa, Mack, Palisade, Pear Park and Whitewater, as well as all other parts ofMesa County.
The plan will help guide decisions about transportation infrastructure projects and funding.
