COLORADO (KOAA) — Governor Jared Polis and the Front Range Passenger Rail District (FRPRD) are inviting Coloradans to help name the new passenger train service that will connect communities across the Front Range.
FRPRD is eyeing a 2026 ballot question that would ask voters across a district stretching from Fort Collins to Pueblo to approve around a half-cent sales tax to fund it.
- Watch News5 coverage on the potential ballot question below:
The communities that will be connected are listed below:
- Trinidad
- Pueblo
- Colorado Springs
- Douglas County
- Littleton
- Denver
- Westminster
- Louisville
- Broomfield
- Boulder
- Longmont
- Loveland
- Fort Collins
“The vision is simple, reduce congestion on Interstate 25 and provide a safe, affordable transportation option that reflects how Coloradans live and travel today,” said Sal Pace, General Manager of FRPRD.
FRPRD has selected four finalists for the name of the train, which are listed below:
- Colorado Connector ("CoCo")
- Colorado Ranger
- Front Range Express Destinations ("FRED")
- RangeLink
