High-speed rail for Colo.? - Colorado has been awarded $1.4 million in stimulus money to study high-speed inter-city rail as it might relate to FasTracks, Obama administration officials announced yesterday. The money will be used to create a “sophisticated” plan for connecting rail transit systems in Colorado. Colorado was awarded a $1 million grant to conduct a connectivity study. The Colorado Department of Transportation will match the grant to conduct a $2 million study that will examine how high-speed rail systems outside the Denver metro area might mesh with the Regional Transportation District’s FasTracks system. A second grant of $400,000 was awarded to Colorado to develop a state rail plan. CDOT will match the grant for an $800,000 study that is necessary to qualify for national designation of a high speed rail corridor. The designation would allow for future federal funding.
