In this episode, the Ross dives into the world of transportation policy, discussing the proposed Front Range passenger rail system, also known as CoCo or the Colorado Connector. This project has been touted as a solution to reduce traffic congestion and make commutes easier, but the speaker argues that it's not the answer to our transportation woes.

Randall O'Toole, a leading expert on rail transportation, shares his concerns about the project's feasibility and effectiveness. He points out that the estimated $4.7 billion price tag for the project is steep, considering it will only serve 12 cities and have limited capacity. He also highlights the fact that buses, which are currently subsidized at a much lower cost, offer similar services and could be improved upon instead of replacing them with a new rail system.

Randall O'Toole also addresses the environmental concerns surrounding the project, pointing out that the trains will be powered by diesel locomotives, which will actually increase greenhouse gas emissions. He notes that the project's proponents claim it will reduce emissions, but the data suggests otherwise.

If you're considering voting on the proposed sales tax increase to fund this project, this episode is a must-listen. Randall O'Toole shares his expertise and insights on the topic, providing a well-rounded perspective on the pros and cons of the Front Range passenger rail system.
