Voters in about 30 municipalities within the Front Range Passenger Rail District, from Fort Collins to Pueblo, will decide whether to approve a new 0.333% sales and use tax with no sunset to fund the Colorado Connector passenger rail service. The tax would extend service south from Denver to Colorado Springs and Pueblo and increase train frequency. It is projected to generate approximately $295,000,000 in its first full year, with 100% dedicated to passenger rail. The measure would also authorize $580,000,000 in debt. Although it has no sunset, revenue for transit and total have been estimated based on a 20-year period for revenue tracking purposes.
