The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) and the Southwest Chief & Front Range Passenger Rail Commission last week issued a request for proposals to study the feasibility of a passenger-rail system and other multimodal options linking Pueblo, Colorado Springs and Fort Collins to Denver.
The study would explore how a passenger-rail system for the 173-mile corridor, which contains 85 percent of Colorado's population, could support the state's future growth and economy, as well as identify other multimodal options, according to a CDOT press release.
The region is forecasted to grow from 4.9 million people in 2020 to 6.6 million people in 2045, a 35 percent increase in total population, CDOT officials said.
The commission was formed in 2017 and tasked with facilitating the implementation and operation of future passenger-rail service along the Front Range corridor. Railroad News
