The Office of Just Transition

The Colorado Office of Just Transition assists communities and workers transitioning away from the mining and burning of coal as an energy source. The dual goals are to: 1) assist communities in retaining and developing family-sustaining jobs, broadening their property tax base, and increasing economic diversity, and 2) help coal industry workers transition to new family-sustaining jobs, relocate, or retire, so as to maintain their economic security in the manner that best suits each individual and their family.  The Office works with an Advisory Committee and is guided by an Action Plan.
