The following message will keep AU members up to date on the recent renewed interest in the mountain rail lines for intrastate service. Note the irony of the rescheduling due to the snow.

Dear Partners,
Happy New Year! I hope this message finds you well. We are thrilled to extend a special invitation to you on behalf of Governor Polis and the Colorado Department of Transportation for a unique event to learn about the Polis - Primavera administration's vision for a Mountain Passenger Rail Network.
The central Rocky Mountains of Colorado present a unique blend of existing rail infrastructure, growing communities and economies, a strong tourist and recreational demand, and a statewide desire to enhance and build a diverse network of mobility. Adding rail to the region's network of transit and mobility options can create a robust transit network that meets the need for multimodal transportation options to preserve the area's economy, natural environment, and unique character, while supporting a just transition for energy communities in the Yampa Valley.
The Colorado Transportation Commission has allocated funding for an initial Service Development Plan that will outline how to accomplish this pivotal policy. Please join us on Friday, January 12th from 2:30pm - 3:30pm to learn more about this initiative and how you can get involved.
Alterra Mountain Company is hosting this event in Winter Park. The meeting will also be offered in a hybrid format if you prefer to join virtually. Space is limited, kindly RSVP using the google form below to confirm your attendance. Upon RSVP, a follow-up email will be sent with the location in Winter Park where the event will be hosted. If you attend virtually, another email will be sent with the Teams meeting information.
When: Friday, January 12th, 2024 2:30-3:30pm
Where: Winter Park and/or Virtual
