Colorado s state Rep. Matt Gray and Sen. Faith Winter have a plan to infuse much-needed cash into Colorado’s ailing transportation infrastructure and they’re calling in the big guns to make sure their proposal ends up on Gov. Jared Polis’ desk.
“We re confident,” Gray said in an interview with Colorado Politics. “We think this is the best shot we ve had in a long time because we have both the leadership of our chambers and the governor s office in alignment with us.”
The plan would boost transportation revenues through fee increases on individuals and businesses, as well as contributions from lawmakers via the state s discretionary spending account.
RTD planners told the board that any move to fully extend the 38-mile corridor, also known as the B Line, will need funding from the state or maybe Amtrak.
