LONGMONT DIAGONAL RAIL PROJECT

Project Summary

The Longmont Diagonal rail project is part of the Regional Transportatin District (RTD) FAsTracks program that proposes a commuter rail transit corridor connecting Denver Union Station to Boulder, then on to Longont. The feasibility of extending rail through the Longmont corridor was established by RTD in 2005 in the Longmont Diagonal Rail Feasibility Study. Further analysis of extending rail to Longmont is provided in this Longont Diagonal Environmental Evaluation document (Longmont EE).
