Colorado’s officials have opened the University of Colorado A Line commuter rail service from downtown Denver to Denver International Airport.
The A Line is 37 km of rail that provides easy, affordable and reliable connections between downtown Denver, the Airport. This line has connections with LRT network, regional buses and the rest of commuter rail network.
The University of Colorado A Line has 8 stations, including Union Station and the Denver Airport Station, 6 of these stations providing 4,329 additional parking spaces.
This is among US first transit projects built by a public-private partnership and is part of the USD 2 billion Eagle Public-Private Partnership (P3) project, which includes the A Line, the under-construction Gold Line commuter rail project, a commuter rail maintenance facility, and electric-multi-unit vehicles.
Under the P3 arrangement, the private team agreed to fund a share of the project, assuming much of the risks, allowing RTD to minimize public costs for construction.
