Reliable & Sustainable Transportation

I support the Regional Transit Authority, otherwise known as the RTA, Core Trail Expansion, Mountain Rail and other innovative transportation solutions w the community has told us loud and clear we need the Core Trail expansion and there is widespread support for Mountain Rail. I believe our community will benefit greatly from innovative transportation solutions. 

  • Core Trail- The Core trail is essential for both recreation and active transportation such as biking and walking. Extending the Core Trail to Steamboat II would benefit Steamboat greatly by providing safe, easy access for community members living out west, as well as help the many kids who walk and bike to the Sleeping Giant School and the Montessori in Heritage Park.

  • Mountain Rail- Mountain Rail is a sustainable and fun way to commute,  whether between northwest Colorado communities, the Hayden airport, Denver and DIA. With some infrastructure already in place and support from the Colorado Department of Transportation,  now is the time to capitalize on this opportunity.

  • Regional Transit Authority- RTA would create a regional approach to transportation to provide reliable, accessible and sustainable transportation right now for the workforce who live outside city limits. It is a solution for the future for locals, workers and visitors by connecting our region and is the definition of collaboration between communities.  RTA transportation eliminates single occupancy vehicles supporting our community climate action plan.
