The other projects are CDOT led BRT projects that are necessary for CDOT to meet CO2 emission reduction goals laid out in the state's Greenhouse Gas Transportation Plan- I can't recall the legislation, but I think it was enacted in 2021. CDOT ended up with $170M to build BRT lines that can be used to offset increased emissions coming from other highway expansion projects such as the Floyd Hill project.
Bunt or PLANSIT probably know more, but that's what I recall.

Colfax is definitely a DOTI led project.
Federal blvd the AA was in process with DOTI when that GHG rule was established so DOTI finished, and CDOT is taking over with the NEPA over a larger area.
The GHG rule was also directed at regional planning entities like DRCOG to plan for reductions. Which is why DRCOG is taking charge on at least the initial planning for far east colfax.
Colorado Blvd is all CDOT, and I guess you could say it's being managed like a highway project.
The only thing I am aware of DOTI is studying right now for bus improvements is 38th which is not a CDOT road.

The GHG rule was part of sb260 and CDOT has a bunch of info on it here
