Front Range Voters Decide Rail Future | Denver News

This fall, voters across the Front Range will decide whether to approve a 33-cent sales tax hike to fund a major new passenger rail line stretching from Fort Collins to Pueblo. With a $295 million annual revenue goal, the project—backed by a 14-1 board vote—is designed to connect key cities like Denver, Boulder, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo, where 20% of residents live near stations. While a limited service between Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins is already slated to launch in three years using existing funds, full expansion to Pueblo and Colorado Springs requires voter approval and could cost up to $2.7 billion. The plan leverages existing BNSF tracks, promising to ease congestion and transform regional transit—if voters say yes.
