Coloradans can now vote on the name of Front Range Passenger Rail service

Colorado’s Front Range Passenger Rail District is inviting the public to vote on the planned service’s name, ahead of an anticipated vote in November to fund the long-awaited intercity line.

“Front Range Passenger Rail will connect communities across the Front Range, increase transportation options for Coloradans and visitors, reduce traffic and pollution, and save us time and money,” Gov. Jared Polis said in a statement Monday. “Coloradans have been wanting for more transportation options to get where we need to go quickly and easily, and now Coloradans have a chance to pick the name that we will see on the rails for years to come.”

The rail district, made up of all or part of 13 counties along the Interstate 25 corridor, was created by the state Legislature in 2021 to oversee the planning, construction and operation of the passenger line. The district’s preferred route envisions nine stops between Fort Collins and Pueblo, including Denver and Colorado Springs, with potential future extensions north to Cheyenne or south to Trinidad and New Mexico.
