Increasingly important as commercial centers for the High Plains and the Mountain States, Denver and Colorado Springs are both located on major north-south and east-west interstate highways, which bring goods to and through the region to all parts of the nation. The transportation needs of such a large area are very great, and the trucking industry has responded with steady growth patterns.

Metropolitan Denver has a reputation for the quality of life offered, and the closeness to mountain ski areas and the plains' wide open spaces explains why. Major league sports teams and cultural facilities only increase the attractiveness of the City's front range location.

Colorado North: Only a few minutes from the mountains and from downtown Denver, the Denver Center is located on Interstate 70 near Wadsworth Boulevard. The two main buildings--administration and instruction--are on the edge of an I 8-acre practice driving range. The administration building houses the recordkeeping staff and all student services, and the instruction building has a large comfortable classroom, a reference library, a laboratory with schematic displays of operating and safety systems, a simulator, and audio and video instructional equipment. The Denver Center serves the training needs of not only northern Colorado but also nearby Nebraska and Wyoming.
