Partnership Approach
This is the primary organization that coordinates and make recommendations for the Gold Belt Byway efforts. The organization coordinates with managing agencies, volunteer groups, and other organizations and individuals. This byway organization ensures that all local citizen concerns and affected interests are represented.

Managing Agencies
Through a formal Cooperative Agreement, 10 managing agencies have committed to jointly manage the Gold Belt Byway. The 10 managing agencies include: the cities of Florence, Florissant, Cripple Creek, Victor, and Cañon City, the Bureau of Land Management   Royal Gorge Resource Area, Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument, Colorado Department of Transportation  Region 2, Fremont County and Teller County.

Volunteer Support
Numerous volunteer groups and individuals currently assist agencies and civic organizations in ways that directly support the goals and vision of this plan. With the continuing support and dedication of these volunteer groups and individuals, a great deal of this plan can be accomplished and the byway vision will become a reality.

Local Landowners
Many private landowners live along or near the byway. The byway organization looks for ways that benefit local landowners while helping to meet the byway goals and vision. Examples include clean ups, increased law enforcement, and support for traditional land uses, such as ranching.

Local Business, Industry, Schools, Interest Groups and Government
Many tourism, recreational, and educational businesses and organizations have similar goals with the byway plan. The Gold Belt Byway Organization looks for ways to form new partnerships with these businesses and organizations.

Purpose Statement
The Gold Belt Tour Byway Association works to improve the appearance and increase the historical awareness of the Byway.  We also want to support the rural, small-town lifestyle including open spaces and a healthy natural environment while recognizing the importance of traditional businesses and industries.

The Gold Belt Tour Byway Association is administered by a board of directors with representation from all areas in which the Byway is located as well as members of the various industries and entities along the routes.
