The Colorado Rail Passenger Association (ColoRail) is a statewide volunteer member organization that works to develop passenger rail services in and through the state of Colorado. ColoRail actively supports efforts to advance multi-modal solutions to Colorado's growing transportation challenges. We advocate the development of passenger rail service along the state's most congested corridors to provide a mobility choice for travelers who either cannot or do not wish to drive.
Passenger rail has long provided the traveling public safe, comfortable, environmental-friendly and reliable transportation services. Travel on a train not only provides a comfortable and relaxed setting where riders may work, converse, or rest during their trip, but is six times safer than in an automobile. A double track rail line can transport more people than eight lanes of highway using much less space. Energy and resultant pollution created by trains is considerably less per passenger carried than what can be achieved by the automobile, and trains operate reliably in all kinds of weather.
ColoRail works to stimulate more interest in the investment in intrastate passenger rail as well as interstate and regional services. Coupled with this investment, ColoRail would like to see a coordinated array of multi-modal services which would provide a time competitive and efficient alternative to automobile travel.
If you support the expansion of passenger rail and multi-modal transportation services, please join ColoRail today.
