Forget the Legal Jargon: What It Actually Means

This means we should be excited because a train connecting Boulder, Denver, and Northern Colorado could be coming soon.

Colorado has done everything it can at a state level, and now the Front Range Passenger Rail is moving to a federal program that helps fund these transportation projects.

The project would be the transportation "spine" along the Front Range, with other multimodal systems east and west of the I-25 corridor integrated into Front Range Passenger Rail. - CDOT

Colorado was just given half a million dollars to start the project. This train would connect Colorado's 13 biggest cities according to FOX.

The fact that Colorado has received federal money is a very good sign that this could become a reality.

What Is Next

The 173-mile project still has steps to take before it becomes a reality. The Front Range is expected to add 1.6 million new residents by 2050. The Front Range Passenger Rail Project is exciting and needed.
