A Growing Need for a
Transportation Solution
As communities grow, a new passenger train will connect Front Range Coloradans to opportunities, adventure and each other. Are you ready to leave delays and heavy traffic behind?
​
We are too, so we’re planning for a future of safe, reliable and climate-conscious travel.
WHERE: Initially offering service from Fort Collins through Denver and south to Pueblo, the Front Range Passenger Rail (FRPR) intercity 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 in our extraordinary state.
WHEN: The District is currently evaluating routes, stations, service, infrastructure, operations, costs, and financing. The first train could be operational within the decade.
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.
Front Range Passenger Rail District
The District extends from the Wyoming to New Mexico border, spanning portions or the entirety of the 13 counties near Interstate 25.
