Program Schedule

Since the FasTracks vote in 2004, the program has encountered a number of challenges outside of RTD's control, namely a significant increase in the cost of construction materials and a significant decrease in sales tax revenues.

Due to these economic challenges, it will require additional revenues from what was originally planned to complete FasTracks sooner rather than later. The RTD Board has decided not to pursue an additional sales tax increase at this time.

The schedule below assumes no additional revenues:

RTD will continue to pursue alternative funding sources for the program to include grants and future private sector and government partnerships that further advance any and all partially funded FasTracks corridors.
