I wrote my state legislators about plans to privatize more bus routes

I hear that there are plans to further privatize bus and train service in the Denver Metro area. Bus riders in Boulder County have endured ten years of cuts to service. In 2018 and 2019, RTD could not keep buses running as the drivers quit the private services.

This has made life difficult for low income people, and led to dangerous increases in greenhouse gases.

Don't Democrats have a majority in the Colorado Legislature? Should we not be strengthening our transit systems throughout the state instead of weakening them?

Rocky Mountain Rail wants to run private rail from Denver to Longmont

They are going to present their proposal at a series of public meetings, one of which was already held in Broomfield. All meetings last from 6 to 8 pm.

This train is a good idea, but I am concerned that the goal of this project is to privatize our bus and train system.
