RTD FasTracks Gold Line

After more than three years of in-depth alternatives screening, detailed impacts analysis and extensive community outreach, the RTD FasTracks Gold Line project has been approved by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA). The FTA's approval marks the end of the Gold Line Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process. RTD is currently working with the FTA to obtain permission to begin final design and construction. Some specifics regarding project are highlighted below:

Light Rail: FasTracks is the Regional Transportation District’s $6.7 billion, 12-year comprehensive plan for the design and construction of high quality transit services and facilities in Metro Denver. When completed, FasTracks will add 122 miles of new light rail and transit service, over 21,000 new parking spaces at rail and transit service in all areas. In addition to the 37 transit stations in operation, FasTracks will add 57 new stations through the region and three are in selected areas of Arvada: Olde Town Arvada, Sheridan Boulevard and Kipling Street. The Olde Town Arvada Rail Station on the Gold Line will integrate into the existing historic development, connecting this urban center to the rest of the region by transit, while also generating new transit-oriented development opportunities.
