Project overview 2006 RTD FasTracks began a transit-alternatives study that resulted in an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). 2007 The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) selected the Gold and East Rail lines for its public-private partnership pilot program, giving birth to the Eagle P3 project. 2009 RTD FasTracks released a final EIS; received an FTA Record of Decision, signaling the completion of the environmental process; and released a request for proposals to seek a private partner to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the Gold and East rail lines. 2010 RTD FasTracks selected Denver Transit Partners as its Eagle P3 contractor and concessionaire under a 34-year contract. 2011 Eagle P3 received a $1.03 billion Full Funding Grant Agreement from the FTA, the largest awarded by the Obama administration; construction began. G Line Line will open to the public as the G Line, at a time yet to be determined.

RTD, DTP to Increase Number of Trains Being Tested on G Line
RTD, DTP to increase number of trains being tested on G Line As many as six trains will be on the alignment starting Thursday; opening date is not yet known DENVER (July 31, 2018) – Starting Thursday, testing on the forthcoming G Line to Arvada, Wheat Ridge and Adams County will take a notable step forward with the addition of more trains on the alignment at more frequent intervals, moving the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and its contractor, Denver Transit Partners (DTP), closer to opening the commuter rail line for passenger service. The ability granted this week to run as many as six trains on the G Line for 10 hours each day – every 15 minutes, between 3 a.m. and 1 p.m. – advances testing toward simulating the full daily service schedule of nearly 21 consecutive hours. The official start to that next phase of testing has not been announced. An opening date for the G Line has not yet been determined. Limited testing along the forthcoming 11.2-mile line between Union Station and Wheat Ridge began last fall and, until earlier this month, had been underway between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. on weekdays since the start of this year. Starting July 20, up to three trains have been tested every day at half-hour intervals starting as early as 3:30 a.m. and extending through 1 a.m. the following day. The testing process has examined the communication signaling along the G Line, as well as the effectiveness of the communication technology in place at each of its 16 at-grade railroad crossings.

For Immediate Release
RTD receives approval to begin limited testing on the G Line Commuter rail testing to begin June 14, 2017 DENVER (June 13, 2017) —The Regional Transportation District (RTD) and its contractor, Denver Transit Partners (DTP), have been given regulatory approval to begin testing along the G Line. Commuter rail trains will begin moving along the corridor from Wheat Ridge through Arvada and into unincorporated Adams County on June 14, 2017. The initial phase of testing on the G Line will be limited, with only a few test trains running Monday thru Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. The number of trains and frequency will increase as testing progresses toward the fully published G Line schedule. Once full schedule testing is completed the G Line is expected to open to passengers in the second half of 2017. “We are excited to be bringing commuter rail service to the communities along the G line. Authorization to perform testing on the G Line is evidence of the dedication RTD and DTP have in working with the regulatory agencies to ensure a safe system for our riders,” General Manager and CEO Dave Genova said. “Safety is RTD’s top priority, and it is important for the public to be aware and exercise caution when walking, biking or driving near the commuter rail alignment.” Train horns will be used during testing leading up to the opening of the G Line. Train operators are required to sound horns along the line until quiet zones at the crossings have been established by rail regulatory agencies.

Eagle P3 Project Procurement Lessons Learned
Acronyms Eagle P3 Project Procurement Lessons Learned Regional Transportation District 1600 Blake Street Denver, Colorado 80202-1399 303.628.9000 August 31, 2011 RTD-Denver.com As the Regional Transportation District (RTD) implements one of the largest transit Public-Private Partnership (P3) in the nation, we wish to share our experience with the transportation industry. The idea is for the industry to gain knowledge from our “lessons learned” in implementing the Eagle P3 Project as part of RTD’s FasTracks transit expansion program, and use them as a guide in the building and rebuilding of our nation’s transportation infrastructure. The key lessons learned from the Eagle P3 procurement are: • RTD created a tremendously competitive environment and engaged the private sector in such a way that resulted in the winning bid coming in $300 million below internal budget estimates. • Though a long term, well-funded surface transportation reauthorization bill is needed, RTD proved that the “Three-legged Financing Stool”—private sector financing (in our case - $486 million), local investment in the form of dedicated sales tax, and federal funding ($1.03 billion Full Funding Grant Agreement)—could very well be the financing model to build mega infrastructure projects in the future. • Empowering your team, holding them accountable, and making the work enjoyable can lead to favorable project results. This lessons learned document is an agency-initiated undertaking to be open and transparent about what has gone well and should be repeated and also to identify things that we would do differently next time. We choose to continue to be forward looking in our approach and to share our experiences as we continue to implement this great regional investment that, after complete build out, will endure and continue to give back for the next 100 years and beyond.

Affordable Housing Needs in the United States
Public Private Partnerships: A look inside using private sector expertise to build public sector needs Transportation and Affordable Housing needs in the United States A Thesis Presented to the Faculty of Architecture and Planning COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science in Urban Planning by Alexander Gallo May 2018 Abstract Today, governments have less money to fund public projects and are trying to solve this through Public-Private Partnerships. This paper reviews several case studies for public private partnerships such as Via Verde, an affordable housing development in the Bronx, New York and the Eagle P3 fast track, a light rail expansion in Denver, Colorado. In order to determine the success of the projects, I review the goal of the project as well as the goals of the public and private entities. For the Eagle P3 I was able to measure the difference in proposed travel time and actual travel time to determine if the system was operating successfully. For the Via Verde I reviewed the planned affordable rent prices and matched them with what they are actually going for to see if the units were actually affordable to the people in the area. In both cases the results proved to be positive. The light rail was running on time with no delays and the units in the Via Verde were affordable to the people in the area. I also review the financial structuring of the Eagle P3 to determine the burden that is put on to the public sector. The findings suggest that Public-Private Partnerships can be beneficial for public sector needs.
