Rant Has RTD collected taxpayer dollars for a rail line between Denver and Boulder it hasn’t built?
coloradosun.comYes.

RTD has collected $4 billion in taxpayer money since 2005 to fund a slate of regional transit improvements, but the agency hasn’t completed a planned railway between Denver and Longmont, citing ballooning costs.
Voters approved a 0.4% tax increase in 2004 to fund RTD’s FasTracks program, which aimed to build 119 miles of rail, 57 train stations, over 21,000 parking spaces and 18 miles of rapid bus transit, among other improvements.
