8th Sustainable Transportation Summit
August 27, 2024, 8:00 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Maintaining Momentum for Passenger Rail Expansion
The expansion of passenger rail continues to be a high priority for the Polis Administration to deliver economic vitality and sustainable travel options to Coloradans. In the last few years momentum has been building, with the passage of state legislation and federal funding opportunities to support the development of Front Range Passenger Rail (FRPR). There are many challenges and considerations when discussing the realities of rail for Coloradans.
