The purpose of the RMRA is to conduct a study of the feasibility of developing a high speed rail passenger service along the I-25 and I-70 corridors.
CDOT has required that a local government receive the SB-1 Transit Grant as applied for by the Front Range Commuter Rail organization for a high speed rail feasibility study for Colorado. This requirement lead to the creation of the Rocky Mountain Rail Authority (RMRA) which is a multi jurisdictional government body created through Intergovernmental Agreement. RMRA will receive the grant monies from CDOT and complete the high speed rail feasibility study for Colorado.
The initial RMRA Establishing Contract was approved by two local governments, Clear Creek County and the Town of Monument. Together they have invited every local government in the state interested in passenger rail service to join the RMRA. Every government that passes and signs the RMRA Contract paperwork will have on-going representation on the RMRA Board of Directors.
