Colorado Connector: What Passenger Rail Could Mean for Downtowns

Join Downtown Colorado, Inc. on July 28 at 10:00 a.m. for a one-hour webinar on the Colorado Connector and what expanded passenger rail could mean for downtowns along the Front Range. This session will explore how Colorado’s collaborative, phased approach to passenger rail can support stronger downtown connections, local business activity, workforce mobility, tourism, and long-term economic competitiveness. We will discuss why stations, service planning, and community engagement matter for downtowns and how local leaders can help shape rail investments before major decisions are made. The Colorado Connector begins with a practical first step connecting Fort Collins and Denver, while creating a foundation for future expansion across the Front Range. Downtown leaders, local governments, businesses, and community partners are invited to learn how passenger rail can become part of a broader strategy for vibrant, connected, and resilient communities.
