Front Range Passenger Rail District Invites Coloradans to Help Name Future Intercity Train Service
Governor Jared Polis and the Front Range Passenger Rail District (FRPRD) invited Coloradans to help name the new passenger train service that will connect communities across the Front Range, reduce traffic and pollution, and save Coloradans time and money. Coloradans can vote for their favorite train name at www.ridethefrontrange.com/namethetrain through March 23, 2026.
“Help name the Train! Front Range Passenger Rail will connect communities across the Front Range, increase transportation options for Coloradans and visitors, reduce traffic and pollution, and save us time and money. Coloradans have been wanting for more transportation options to get where we need to go quickly and easily, and now Coloradans have a chance to pick the name that we will see on the rails for years to come,” said Governor Polis.
The District has selected four finalists in the naming competition for the future train. These are:
- Colorado Connector (“CoCo”)
- Colorado Ranger
- Front Range Express Destinations (“FRED”)
- RangeLink
The proposed passenger rail service will connect 13 communities from Fort Collins to Pueblo, with service anticipated to begin in 2029. Stations are planned in Fort Collins, Loveland, Longmont, Boulder, Louisville, Broomfield, Westminster, Denver, Littleton, Douglas County, Colorado Springs, Pueblo, and Trinidad.
“The vision is simple: reduce congestion on Interstate 25 and provide a safe, affordable transportation option that reflects how Coloradans live and travel today,” said Sal Pace, General Manager of the Front Range Passenger Rail District.
Through partnerships with Union Pacific Railroad, BNSF Railway, the National Railroad Passenger Corporation (Amtrak), and the Regional Transportation District, the passenger rail service will provide a modern, comfortable, and low-cost alternative to bumper to bumper highway traffic.
Coloradans can vote for their favorite train here: www.ridethefrontrange.com/namethetrain through March 23, 2026. Coloradans – along with public and stakeholder input gathered across the Front Range – will help decide the final name of the train.
*Two winners will be selected at random to receive tickets for the inaugural Front Range Passenger Rail trip in 2029.
