New RTD Poll Shows Most Denver-Area Residents Still Support FasTracks
Transportation improvement and the reduction of traffic congestion and air pollution are the main reasons 85% of Denver-area residents believe the Regional Transportation District’s FasTracks program was a good decision, according to a recent public opinion survey of residents living in the eight-county metropolitan region.
Nearly a decade after metro-area taxpayers approved the build-out of the FasTracks mass transit program, an overwhelming majority continue to believe the benefits of more light rail, commuter rail and bus rapid transit outweigh any other considerations. According to the survey, Denver-area residents cited reduced traffic and air pollution and the creation of thousands of new jobs as the biggest benefits of FasTracks.
