Help Plan Better Rail for All of Us

CDOT is creating a state rail plan so that we can start taking steps to improve both our freight and passenger railroads. Having a state rail plan means that Colorado has officially recognized that roads are not the only way that we get around as well as letting us apply for federal railway funding.

To help them create a good plan, Colorado's planners need citizens to answer four questions:

1. What are the strengths of Colorado's rail network, both passenger and freight?

2. What are the deficiencies of the rail system?

3. What improvements/revisions should be considered?

4. What should be considered in prioritizing improvements?

Please send your answers to Mehdi.Baziar@dot.state.us.

Thanks for helping us all to have better trains in the future.

Update: The deadline for comments has been extended to October 14.
