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.
