Episode Details

Colorado’s Front Range is voting on a bold new transit plan: the Colorado Connector train, funded by a small sales tax hike for select communities. If approved in November, it could bring $295 million to launch service between Denver and Fort Collins by 2029—with future expansion to Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Critics question ridership impact and campaign spending, while tweaks like a new station in northern Colorado Springs and a relocated downtown platform show the plan’s evolving nature. With projected annual revenue of $300 million from fares and taxes—and only 30% of riders expected to come from the southern stretch—the fate of this rail dream rests with voters.
