The Southwest Regional Transportation Planning Commission (RPC) is made up of one representative from each of the seventeen political jurisdictions of the Southwest Transportation Planning Region (TPR) that includes five counties, ten cities and towns and two Indian Tribes.  The RPC meets to work with various transportation planning, project and funding issues affecting the region.  Since the RPC is formed by Inter-Governmental Agreement and is not a legal entity, Region 9 EDD provides administrative support and contracts with the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on behalf of the RPC for planning assistance grant funds. These funds are used to send a representative to the monthly STAC (Statewide Transportation Advisory Committee) meetings in Denver.

Every five years each TPR is required to produce an update of the Twenty-Year Regional Transportation Plan.   The purpose of the Regional Transportation Plan is to identify the transportation needs of the region and develop a plan for addressing those needs.  The SWRPC adopted the 2035 Regional Transportation Plan on Jan. 24, 2008.
