February 2021 NO RAIL REPORT February 2021 NO. 724 Rocky Mountain Railroad Club There Will Not Be A February Meeting In Barnes Hall Train Encounters of Stephen Peck Presented Via The Internet By Stephen Peck February 9, 2021 • 7:30 PM Stephen’s presentation will be a time line of his railroad experiences consisting of about half work and half railfanning. He is planning to high- light the more unique experiences of his work and projects. Starting from his first railroad job on the Coors Brewery Railroad, he has enjoyed a variety of experiences. From working at a small engineering firm in Durango, he started working evenings as a coach cleaner eventually working his way up to being a one day a week fireman. He worked for the George- town Loop on their project to restore the Tahoe passenger car. He was later invited to travel to Chile to assess the restoration of a Norris Brothers 4-4-0 locomotive built in 1850. – Continued on Page 2 – See Page 14 For Information On How To Sign Up And Participate RMRRC 2021 Calendar March 9th Monthly meeting and program of photos with John Crisanti.

  • RTD 2019 Factsheet Booklet
    2019 FACT SHEETS Regional Transportation District On the Cover: The first on-road deployment of an autonomous vehicle (AV) made its debut as RTD’s Route 61AV at the end of January 2019. The self- driving EasyMile shuttle is 100 percent electric and will connect passengers from the 61st & Pena Station along the University of Colorado A Line to the Panasonic and EasyMile offices. The shuttle can carry up to 12 passengers and will run Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., making a loop to four stops every 15 minutes at an average speed of 12 – 15 miles per hour. The goal of the project is to determine whether the autonomous vehicle could serve as a possible future first and last mile solution for transit riders. Route 61AV is a pilot project that was approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the newly formed Colorado Autonomous Vehicle Task Force.

  • Left at the Station
    Left at the Station A Civil Rights Perspective on Transit Justice in the Front Range January 2014 1 Index [5] Methodology [7] Key Findings [18] The 16L [20] Community Focus: Westwood [23] Recommendations In April of 2013, the W Line of light rail was opened. This West Corridor expansion is a part of the FasTracks transit build out that is expanding light rail across the Front Range. The W Line runs from Downtown Denver through West Denver, Lakewood, and Golden and ends at the Federal Center. 2 Introduction 9to5 Colorado has been working with residents along the West Corridor through surveys, canvassing, community meetings, petition drives, and organizing campaigns in an effort to prioritize community needs and advocate for a just transit system with equally shared benefits. This report is based on the findings from our work in 2013. 9to5 Colorado began this work to ensure that the wants, needs, and concerns of low-income communities and communities of color were heard throughout the process. Despite the fact that much of the newly opened W Line runs through their communities, many residents reported that 9to5 was the first organization or agency to speak with them about the transit build out. In the months we spent with community members, significant equity issues surfaced. Cost, safety, and service cuts to bus routes were some of the most common concerns. When community members tried to voice concerns, they experienced difficulty accessing RTD and city officials. Community members shared 9to5’s belief that an accessible and equitable transit system can provide opportunities to reach employment, education, services, and recreation.

    SUPPLEMENT TO OFFICIAL STATEMENT DATED JUNE 6, 2017 REGARDING $119,465,000 REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION DISTRICT (Colorado) Sales Tax Revenue Bonds (FasTracks Project) Series 2017B This Supplement to the Official Statement (this "Supplement") supplements the Official Statement dated June 6, 2017 (the "Official Statement") with respect to the above-captioned Bonds of the Regional Transportation District. This Supplement constitutes an integral part of the Official Statement and recipients are requested to attach this Supplement to the Official Statement. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Official Statement. 1. The following language is added as a new last paragraph under "THE SALES TAX - General" on page 19 of the Official Statement: "On June 29, 2017, the Colorado Department of Revenue alerted RTD to a drafting error in Colorado Senate Bill 17-267 ("SB 267") that prevents numerous Colorado special districts, including RTD, from continuing to collect tax revenue from retail marijuana sales effective July 1, 2017. The special districts had not been advised of a potential impact or asked for fiscal note input, and the fiscal note prepared for the Colorado legislature did not mention any such fiscal impact. The revenue loss of the retail marijuana sales tax exemption was presumed to have been made whole by a corresponding increase in the rate of a separate, special sales tax collected on retail marijuana; however, special districts were not included in the special sales tax rate increase. While a correction to the drafting error is being pursued, assuming that no correction is made, the impact of SB 267 on RTD is currently estimated to be a reduction of approximately $500,000 in sales tax revenues per month, or approximately 1% of RTD’s sales tax revenues.
