It is a great honor serving you as the elected District O representative on the RTD Board and working to help shape the future of our bus and rail service in Boulder County.

While there are many issues, big and small, that demand my attention, there are a few areas where I have focused my efforts. In particular, despite many challenges, the FasTracks plan promises to bring significant improvements to Boulder County and the entire Front Range. As your voice on the RTD Board, I will continue my vigilance in seeing to it that we receive the promised investments in commuter rail and bus rapid transit – as well as the critical bus connections that serve every part of our district. I also am working to make sure these enhancements to our transit system align with our local community interests.

Other issues that are a focus for me in my work on the RTD Board include keeping the Eco Pass an accessible and affordable tool to encourage transit ridership, and demanding the highest standards of customer service from RTD. Lastly, I have been diligent in seeing that the finances of Colorado’s third largest government agency are properly managed and used for maximum effectiveness.

I am grateful that the citizens of Boulder County have elected me to represent you on the RTD Board. While I am engaged in this important assignment, I urge you to please let me know your thoughts about RTD services and activities. I also encourage you to visit this web site regularly to learn more about the latest RTD issues.

In the meantime, thank you for your interest in our transit system and I hope you enjoy “The Ride”!
