Advancing Transportation Safety and Expansion
Front Range Passenger Rail
WHERE: Initially offering service from Fort Collins through
Denver and south to Pueblo, the Front Range Passenger Rail
(FRPR) inter-city train service has the long-term vision of
connecting Colorado to New Mexico and Wyoming.
WHY: About 5 million people currently live on the Front
Range. In the next 30 years, an additional 3 million people
are expected to live and commute along the Front Range.
FRPR will provide a relaxed, efficient, and safe
transportation option that connects key destinations.
The FRPR District extends from the Wyoming to New
Mexico border, spanning portions or the entirety of the
13 counties near Interstate 25.

WHEN: The FRPR District is currently evaluating stations,
service, infrastructure, operations, costs, and financing.

years.

HOW: Using existing tracks shared with freight railroads,
partnering with transportation providers and elected
officials, and leveraging new passenger rail programs and
funding established through the Bipartisan Infrastructure
Law minimizes costs to taxpayers and accelerates the
service start date.
