I-70 Mountain Corridor Interpretive Plan Introduction The I‐70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) Section 106 Programmatic Agreement (2008) stipulates that the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) will develop design guidelines, define a historic context of the corridor, and develop an interpretation plan. The I‐70 Mountain Corridor Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) Guidance provides design guidance and the historic context; the Interpretive Plan is intended to guide interpretive activities and mitigation identified for projects developed through the Tier 2 environmental process on the corridor. The Section 106 Programmatic Agreement (106 PA) committed to brand a heritage corridor, develop interpretive planning based on the historic context and identify possible interpretative efforts.
Interpretive planning connects visitors, recreationists, tourists and guests with ideas, resources and opportunities for engagement and learning. The following vision for this document was developed in collaboration with the Section 106 consulting parties, agencies and community representatives along the corridor:
The Interpretive Plan is the framework for consistent and timeless efforts focused on understanding, appreciating, and honoring the historic and other unique features of the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. These efforts build community and provide quality visitor experiences that support tourism.
The purpose of the plan is to support the following features that are part of the interpretive vision for the I‐70 Mountain Corridor:
Collaboration
Decision‐making
Communication
Marketing
Funding
This document includes a process to support corridor partners in identifying opportunities for interpretation, strategies, and techniques to enhance visitor experiences before, during, and after coming to the corridor. These strategies are intended to brand the corridor and increase visitors’ appreciation of, and sensitivity to, corridor resources.
The scope of this plan is focused on the I‐70 Mountain Corridor from C‐470 to Glenwood Springs. At the corridor level, it is focused on a consistent approach to interpretative activities, which will select, develop, and implement interpretive materials in conjunction with specific project mitigation or outreach activities.
The development of this plan followed the I‐70 CSS 6‐Step Process and engaged a multi‐disciplinary team. The Appendix to this report provides the organizations invited and the meeting materials.

How to Use this Plan Interpretation and education provide informational, interpretive, and educational materials, programs, media and facilities to enhance visitor experience. For projects on the I‐70 Mountain Corridor, CDOT, FHWA, and the consulting parties to the 106 PA are committed to a collaborative approach to developing interpretive applications in conjunction with projects on I‐70 and within the corridor.
The corridor stakeholders developed this plan for use on Tier 2 projects in the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. They also envisioned that communities and agencies in the Mountain Corridor would use this plan as a resource in the development of interpretive materials and applications to enhance visitors’ sense of coordinated education and information. CDOT will use this plan to guide their interpretive activities developed to mitigate potential impacts from projects.
If CDOT, in consultation with corridor stakeholders, determines that mitigation requirements could be met through interpretation, it will follow the guidance in this plan to identify and develop interpretive applications. In determining whether mitigation can be addressed through interpretation, it is important to consider historic, manmade, natural and visual resources for impacts and potential interpretation. The planning steps are shown in Figure 1.
If interpretation is being considered in response to historic properties or effects, CDOT will work with the consulting parties and the National Park Service to develop and agree upon appropriate interpretation.

A checklist (Figure 2) was developed to help guide the interpretive planning process on the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. These activities may occur sequentially or concurrently and are consistent with the I‐70 Mountain Corridor CSS decision‐making process. The hyperlinks in this document (words distinguished by blue underlined text, a form of inter‐document connection) will take you to guidance on the CSS website that can be used to support the planning process.
FIGURE 2 Checklist to Guide Interpretive Planning Process
If interpretation is being developed as part of a project, review the CSS Guidance and establish an Issues Task Force that includes community representatives and parties to the Section 106 PA Follow the CSS Guidance on establishing an Issues Task Force Review Context Statement, Core Values, and Interactive Maps on the
CSS website In the Interactive Maps, input the mile post limits of the project, then
print a report of the potentially affected resources Identify whether the project lies in an Area of Special Attention
Take a multidisciplinary approach by involving representatives from all of the disciplines that may be interested in or affected by your project. The type of mitigation should also direct the representatives involved. Consider the following disciplines: Engineering Planning Environmen tal Operations Maintenance Public involvement Public relations/government affairs Landscape architecture Parks and open space Historic Economic Planning/community development Other project-related disciplines

I-70 Interpretive Opportunities Map When mitigation through interpretation has been determined appropriate and stakeholders have been invited to participate, consider the following:
The audience(s) you wish to reach through the interpretation
The subject and location opportunities available within the project area
The techniques that best reflect the themes and resources as well as effectively communicate with your target audiences
The topics (audiences, opportunities, and techniques) are expanded to provide information, ideas, resources, and options that are effective and appropriate in meeting your interpretive goals.
The I‐70 Mountain Corridor Opportunities for Interpretation Map Figure 3, or view a full‐scale map is intended to be used as a reference for the many communities located in the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. Information on the map was obtained via stakeholder input along with readily available promotional and historical information. The location of possible interpretive sites listed on the map is approximate and is not intended to be comprehensive of the myriad interpretive opportunities possible along the corridor. The map is intended to be used as starting point for additional research by communities or agencies beginning an interpretive program so they may be aware of possible interpretive opportunities identified as significant by the public. The map is not intended to be accessed by the public directly, nor is it intended for way finding.
The map is intended and designed to be used in conjunction with the I‐70 Mountain Corridor Branding Program detailed in the previous section. Topics for interpretation fall into the themes and categories designated within the Branding Program. The topics are organized in the map legend by tagline (America’s Mountain Destination, Colorado Rockies Wild and Close, The I‐70 Mountain Corridor Connects You) and by location of sites along the corridor—at the bottom of the map.

Audiences Interpretive planning must be done in the context of whom the audience is, as well as what information is to be conveyed. The I‐70 Mountain Corridor is America’s mountain destination and attracts visitors from around the world to enjoy the scenic beauty, unique history, accessible alpine and subalpine outdoor recreation, and friendly communities. These visitors come from other continents, states or nearby communities to enjoy and appreciate the unique resources offered in the corridor.
Each project will identify the applicable target audience(s) for interpretation for that project, understanding the specific mitigation objectives and interpretive opportunities in the area of the project. Potential audiences:
I‐70 auto travelers
Bicyclists and pedestrians
Recreational visitors
Historic or eco‐tourists
Local communities
School and education groups
Each of the potential audiences is discussed in more detail.
I-70 Auto Travelers The majority of visitors to the I‐70 Mountain Corridor are auto travelers who are traveling to destinations within or beyond the corridor. Although the mode of travel is the same among auto travelers, they represent a diverse group with a potentially broad range of interests, travel purpose, and available time. It is important to focus on the common travel mode to develop recommendations for this audience. Interpretation of features visible from the roadway through techniques easily accessible from the roadway or conveniently located at common travel stop locations such as rest areas, visitor centers, or service centers will serve this audience most effectively.
Bicyclists and Pedestrians Bicyclists and pedestrians in the I‐70 Mountain Corridor move through the corridor more slowly than motorized travel. Opportunities to interact more personally with the cultural and natural resources near trails, bikeways, or trailheads are generally more localized to the immediate or accessible points of interest. Bicyclists and pedestrians include destination‐oriented visitors to the corridor, as well as corridor residents who are using the bike and pedestrian facilities.
Recreational Visitors Recreational visitors include visitors traveling to the many ski resorts and national forest destinations in the corridor, as well as corridor residents enjoying the recreational opportunities nearby. Recreational visitors in general are destination oriented and opportunities to provide interpretation to these visitors are at the destinations themselves. These include visitor centers, trailheads, resorts, and other points of entry into the recreational destination.
Historic or Eco-tourists Historic and eco‐tourism is increasing and these visitors are interested in communities and locations that offer unique insights into history and natural, ecological features. In general, these visitors are interested in more detailed information and educational opportunities at points of interest and are often destination oriented in their travel. They are more willing to go
8
to specific locations and spend time delving into the history and interpretive details of their destination.
Local Communities Although most of the audiences identified in this plan are visitors from outside the corridor, the unique features, recreational opportunities, and important history along the I‐70 Mountain Corridor attracts local visitors to other communities and to points of interest within the corridor. Many of these visitors are contained within one of the other audiences and may be considered auto travelers, bicycle or pedestrian, recreational, historic/ eco‐tourists, or education groups.
School and Education Groups Educational groups, like historic or eco‐tourists, are generally focused on specific destinations and interested in more in‐depth information and interpretation. School and education groups can be local or visiting from outside the corridor or state. They range in age and respond well to exciting, accessible, and interactive interpretive techniques.
Each of the potential target audiences can be communicated with effectively through different techniques and at different points in their journey. Some may be interested in obtaining information prior to visiting the corridor, while others may want to learn about things they observe while traveling through the corridor or even after returning home. Knowing the target audience and the focal resources provides the starting point for identifying appropriate techniques for interpretation.
Identifying Techniques for Application The actual determination of interpretive techniques and material should reflect the applicable themes and specific resources for interpretation, as well as effective approaches to convey information to the target audiences. Specific themes, opportunities for interpretation, and the target audiences for interpretive materials provide the starting point for identifying specific applications and techniques during the planning process. A matrix illustrated in Figure 4 provides a tool for determining appropriate and applicable techniques for use with individual projects.

Brochure Brochures are generally one page, two‐sided and folded to a format less than 8.5 by 11 inches. They provide a brief topical or site overview. Brochures in the I‐70 Mountain Corridor should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes, and reflect the format, color and system identifier provided in this plan. Brochures developed with CDOT funding must be approved by the CDOT Office of Public Information.
Pamphlet or Booklet Multiple page publications are developed to provide more in‐depth educational information than a brochure. They may cover multiple topics or sites and include text, photos, and graphics. Publications should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes, and reflect the format, color and system identifier provided in this plan. Pamphlets or booklets developed with CDOT funding must be approved by the CDOT Office of Public Information.
Website Websites provide information that can be downloaded or viewed on the internet. Information on websites may include multi‐media applications, maps, interactive options, and detailed information. The first step in considering a website for interpretation on the I‐70 Mountain Corridor is to determine the party responsible for hosting and maintaining the site. Materials provided on the CDOT website must conform to CDOT website requirements and be maintained by CDOT personnel (contact CDOT’s Office of Public Information for current requirements and format information). If a website is to be hosted by another agency or organization, careful consideration should be given to developing a plan for implementation and maintenance to ensure that the information is current and the site contains functional links.
Smartphone App Information can be developed for delivery through Smartphone apps, like Tagwhat or Google Maps. A corridor‐specific interpretive app or the use of QR codes can be used to link users to online information.
Video Information videos can provide theme‐focused, site‐specific, or corridor‐wide information available through the web, visitor centers, or interactive displays. Videos developed in the I‐70 Mountain Corridor should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes and reflect the format, color and system identifier provided in this plan. Videos should limited to five minutes in length. Videos developed with CDOT funding may not promote private enterprise, should address cultural and natural resources, and must be approved by the CDOT Office of Public Information.
Newsletter Newsletters are a one‐page to multi‐page publication developed for targeted audiences or on targeted topics. They can be hardcopy or electronically distributed. A newsletter addresses current events as they relate to cultural and natural resource interpretation and should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes and reflect the format, color, and system identifier provided in this plan. Newsletters developed with CDOT funding must be approved by the CDOT Office of Public Information.
Poster Posters are single page, large graphic displays that provide information or interpretation of a single topic or site. They are optimally eye‐catching and graphically oriented. Typically, posters focus on a single theme and should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes and reflect the format, color, and system identifier provided in this plan. Posters developed with CDOT funding must be approved by the CDOT Office of Public Information.
12
Map Maps are graphical representations of locations, segments, or the entire corridor developed to convey information and facilitate navigation to points of interest. Maps can be static hardcopy or can be fully interactive, clickable web‐based applications. Interpretive maps developed for the I‐70 Mountain Corridor should be consistent with the corridor branding and themes and reflect the format, color and system identifier provided in this plan. Maps developed with CDOT funding must be approved by the Office of Public Information.
Educational Activities Educational activities include structured educational opportunities facilitated by an interpreter or can be internet based and self‐directed. The activities can be customized to the focus and interest of a group.
Roving Interpreter Roving interpreters provide site‐based interpretation and are available in the area to offer information and answer questions. Roving interpreters present an opportunity to customize and personalize information to meet the visitors’ specific needs and interests.
Local Television (TV) Stations Local broadcast TV stations and government stations provide features and information that support interpretation. Coordination with local TV stations to provide timely information and feature sites of interest or interpretive videos can provide an additional medium for the dissemination of information on cultural and natural resources.
Interpretive Exhibits Interpretive Signage Design Guidelines To maintain quality and consistency of Interpretive Signage throughout the corridor a qualified professional should be consulted for design, layout and production of interpretive signage and related promotional materials.
Signage Layout Guidelines Overall signage design has been provided for each category of interpretation in order to maintain a consistent image throughout the corridor. Overall sign design follows the tagline approach for the I‐70 Mountain Corridor Interpretive Plan. These are suggestions and are available for use when designing sign layout. Should the examples not be used, the basic format of a white silhouette representing the category or topic for interpretation should be maintained. Additionally, the five color overall scheme of royal blue, light blue, dark turquoise, yellow‐green, and gold should be used for continuity. The specific colors and corresponding RGB/CMYK numbers are listed below.
TABLE 1 Sign Guidelines Colors

It is advisable that sign panels maintain the 24 inches high by 36 inches wide design format provided. When laying out text, consider the “3‐30‐3” rule. Three seconds to hook a visitor, 30 seconds once they are hooked and 3 minutes if they are interested in the topic.
Accessibility Accessibility of interpretive signage is essential to a successful interpretive program. It is important to consider Americans with Disabilities (ADA) and the Architectural Barriers Act (ABA) guidelines.
The universal design standards specified by the National Park Service (NPS), Rocky Mountain Region Center for Design and Interpretation are a great source of information.
It is important to protect the resource and natural settings that made it significant in the first place while ensuring access to specified locations. The NPS Center for Design & Interpretation suggests possible methods to achieve accessibility, these include: alternative formats (i.e. links to audio files via smart phones or tablets), ADA accessible routes to signage, multiple display formats (oral, visual, tactile), low gloss and high contrast panels with sans serif, large format font, and a mounting height of 24 to 30 inches with a viewing angle of 30 to 45 degrees.
Panel Mounting Options Panel mounting structures can vary widely. In order to maintain consistency and achieve the high level of accessibility required of interpretive signage, products similar to those used by the National Park Service are suggested. Due to the varied nature of sign locations and surfaces on which they may be mounted (i.e., turf, rock, pavement etc.) along the corridor, some flexibility in mounting options, panel angle orientation and number of panels may be necessary. Panels similar to those used by the National Park Service are simple and do not detract from the location of interpretation. For larger sites, with many topics for interpretation, a multi‐panel option may be required. There are a number of products available which can be customized to achieve this goal. An internet search for “interpretive sign manufacturers” will provide many supplier options.
Interpretation opportunities are intended to supplement the resource that makes the site significant; therefore non‐competing colors and materials should be considered in accordance with the I‐70 Mountain Corridor Aesthetic Guidance Design. All vertical elements are specified in this document to be Forest Service Brown (Federal Standard 595B Color 20059) or similar.

Appendix The development of this plan followed the I‐70 CSS 6‐Step Process and engaged a multi‐disciplinary
team. This appendix provides the organizations invited and the meeting materials.
How and why the Plan was Developed The I‐70 Mountain Corridor Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) Section 106 Programmatic Agreement directed CDOT and the consulting parties to develop design guidelines, define the historic context of the corridor, and plan for historic interpretation for historic and cultural resources. These guidelines would ensure current and future enhancements and mitigations are consistent throughout the I‐70 Mountain Corridor and are in agreement with the goals of the Section 106 PA consulting parties and the local municipalities.
Who was Involved A project team was formed to establish the project goals and outcome. The project team met at regular intervals during the six‐steps of the plan.

Vision & Goals for the Plan The Interpretive Plan will be used for areas of historical significance and other unique features identified during the Tier 2 environmental process for CDOT projects on the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. The Plan also provides the opportunity for corridor partners to use the same interpretative techniques for projects adjacent to the corridor.
The Plan outlines the process and techniques that will ensure consistency of interpretive sites along corridor. Having a consistent approach will increase visitor recognition and appreciation for these special areas on and adjacent to the I‐70 Mountain Corridor.
The Plan Vision drafted by the PLT was further refined by agencies and community representatives at the first Stakeholder Meeting.
The Interpretive Plan is the framework for consistent and timeless efforts focused on understanding, appreciating, and honoring the historic and other unique features of the I‐70 Mountain Corridor. These efforts build community and provide quality visitor experiences that support tourism.
The goals for the plan are to:
Be used by corridor stakeholders
Be user friendly
Provide processes for future decision making
Provide clear strategies
Help fulfill mitigation requirements
Provide a method to amend the Plan
Methodology The Plan followed the Context Sensitive Solutions (CSS) six‐step process.
PLT members met on December 12, 2012. Agenda items included endorsing the process, defining the desired outcomes, drafting the vision and confirming stakeholders to be included in the process (Attachment 1).
Three stakeholder meetings were held during the development of the plan. Agendas are included in Attachment #2.
Stakeholder’s meetings were held on January 7, 2013, March 13, 2013 and July 17, 2013.
At the first two meetings, attendees reviewed a number of successful interpretive plans (Attachment 3) and the I‐70 Mountain Corridor Context Map (Attachment 4) or view a full scale map. These were used to discuss, debate, and agree on opportunities for interpretive sites
A-3
The Stakeholders discussed the different types of audiences who would visit the interpretive sites and what techniques would work best for each audience. Several branding concepts and themes were presented at these meetings.
The final meeting on July 17 reviewed the process used to develop the Plan, presented the outline of the Plan and graphics for comment.
It was agreed the Interpretive Plan and associated materials would be included on the I‐70 CSS website.
