Please note that the current level of funding that Colorado has received for Map
Modernization does not meet even the lowest of the three funding levels presented above.
In fact, the current level of funding is slightly less than half of the lowest level of funding.
Projecting the approximately $1,500,000 ofFY 03 total dollars (federal and non-federal) that the
Colorado has expended into a 5-year plan yields just under $9,000,000 (if credit is given for the
FY '03 funding as well as funding for the five years from FY ~04 through FY '08) for the
duration of Map Modernization. Figure 5.1 below depicts the projected funding based on FY 03
studies, as well as the Low, Medium, and Full levels of funding listed in the table above.
