=====Future transit plans=====
[[Front Range Passenger Rail]] is a current proposal (as of 2023) to link the cities from [[Pueblo, Colorado|Pueblo]] in the south, north to [[Fort Collins]] and possibly to [[Cheyenne, Wyoming]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Heins |first1=Nicole |title=Amtrak hopes to reduce I-25 traffic by creating a passenger rail along the Front Range |url=https://www.kktv.com/2021/04/13/amtrak-hopes-to-reduce-i-25-traffic-by-creating-a-passenger-rail-along-the-front-range/ |access-date=January 1, 2022 |work=KKTV 11 News |date=April 13, 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

A {{Convert|41|mi|adj=on}} RTD [[commuter rail]] route called the Northwest Rail Line, also known as the [[B Line (RTD)|B Line]], is proposed to run from Denver through Boulder to [[Longmont]], with stops in major communities along the way. The Boulder station is to be north of Pearl Street and east of 30th Street. At one time this commuter rail service was scheduled to commence in 2014, but major delays have ensued. In 2016, an initial {{Convert|6|mi|adj=on}} segment opened, reaching from downtown Denver to southern [[Westminster, Colorado|Westminster]] at [[Westminster station (RTD)|Westminster Station]].<ref>{{cite news|url=http://kdvr.com/2016/07/24/rtds-b-line-and-westminster-station-officially-opens-on-monday/|title=RTD's B Line and Westminster Station open|last=Engelbart|first=Drew|publisher=FOX31 Denver|date=July 24, 2016|access-date=February 13, 2016|archive-date=July 26, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160726132110/http://kdvr.com/2016/07/24/rtds-b-line-and-westminster-station-officially-opens-on-monday/|url-status=live}}</ref> The remaining {{Convert|35|mi}} of the Northwest Rail Line is planned to be completed by 2044, depending upon funding.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20968210/rtd-and-other-officials-vow-finish-denvers-northwest|title=RTD and other officials vow to finish Denver's Northwest Rail Line|last=Whaley|first=Monte|newspaper=Denver Post|date=June 29, 2012|access-date=April 25, 2013|archive-date=April 28, 2013|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130428083841/http://www.denverpost.com/breakingnews/ci_20968210/rtd-and-other-officials-vow-finish-denvers-northwest|url-status=live}}</ref>

These future transit plans, as well as the current Flatiron Flyer Bus Rapid Transit route, are part of [[FasTracks]], an RTD transit improvement plan funded by a 0.4% increase in the sales tax throughout the Denver metro area. [[Regional Transportation District|RTD]], the developer of FasTracks, is partnering with the city of Boulder to plan a [[transit-oriented development]] near Pearl and 33rd Streets in association with the proposed Boulder commuter rail station. The development is to feature the [[Boulder Railroad Depot]], already relocated to that site, which may be returned to a transit-related use.
