Front Range Passenger Rail is coming to your ballot! Train service will be on offer from Pueblo to Fort Collins via Boulder, Denver, and CO Springs. How often should they run? How much service would you fund? Take our 1-min survey today! #BuildFRPR greaterdenvertransit.com/frontrangepass…

In 2018 Oklahoma built a 4.8 mile streetcar system for $135m including the trains. It’s got real-time tracking info at every stop & non-electrified sections where the light rail vehicles run on battery power. Wouldn’t this be perfect for Larimer St / RiNo in Denver? #GDTOnTour

Empower Field Station after the end of the #TaylorSwift show; operation “get the #Swifties home” is in full effect. All we wanted was for @RideRTD to take this one seriously and that they did. Senior staff were up late to see how it all went. A great effort by all RTD staff! 👍

Why on earth does @RideRTD still allow this company (Outdoor Promotions) to maintain their bus stops? This one hasn’t had any attention in months, if not years. They are clearly not fulfilling their end of the bargain.

Apparently some car-centric thinkers are worried about parking when Casa Bonita reopens. No, you can’t use @RideRTD’s Wadsworth parking garage… ….but you are more than welcome to use one of the 20 buses or trains which pass by the area each hour!

How will Casa Bonita tackle its small parking lot?
While we still don’t have an official opening date yet, the restaurant continues to prepare for the grand reopening. However, one of its biggest challenges lies outside the pink venue.

Denver, @DENAirport is ignoring you. You have made yourselves ABUNDANTLY CLEAR in public feedback to the #PenaBlvd mobility study: you want DEN to seriously consider #Transit. Today, not a single #CoreAlternative offers any detail on impacts from expanding the #ALine or #buses!

There's a far more sustainable way to add capacity to DIA! Instead of widening Pena, let's push @DenverDOTI to support #DoubleTracking the A Line to get 7.5-MINUTE frequencies along with funding for more @RideRTD bus service to @DENAirport from Boulder, Thorton, and Aurora!

Welcome to the coolest summer for the rest of your life. Can we please spend some more time chatting about on how expanding Peña Blvd is equitable because it will temporarily shave 5 minutes off someone’s commute?

Please do not put your loved ones into a small car. In an accident the size and weight make all the difference. Perhaps try something bigger… like a train instead.

GDT is STRONGLY opposed to the current #CarCentric planning for expanding motor vehicle access to @DENAirport. Will cost Denverites at least $75M! greaterdenvertransit.com/penaplan/ Read our case for why #DenverTransit should be studied as a #CoreAlternative to #1MoreLane on #PeñaBlvd.

What if Denver didn't just build BRT...but remade our #Stroads with #BRT to prioritize #PedBike & transit? RSVP for our Thursday meeting - we're asking whether @NACTO's #SideTransitway design concept might be the best fit for Colorado and Federal Blvds. eventbrite.com/e/monthly-meet…
