Let's transform RTD together
I'm running for the RTD Board of Directors to make our transit network fast, reliable, and accessible to everyone.
Boulder County deserves representation that understands both the technical challenges and daily realities of public transportation. As an every day RTD rider and someone who applies data analysis skills to understand transit performance, I bring the experience and expertise needed to transform our system.
RTD faces serious challenges...
Stagnating Ridership
RTD ridership has struggled to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic. Before 2020, RTD served 9 million annual boardings. As of April 2025, we're down to just 5.5 million annual boardings. This massive decline threatens the viability of our transit system.
Unfulfilled FasTracks Promises
Boulder County voters approved FasTracks in 2004 with the promise of rail service to Boulder and Longmont. Twenty years later, Boulder County taxpayers have paid over $600M for FasTracks, and yet, we're still waiting for Northwest Rail.
Federal Budget Threats
The Trump administration has proposed significant cuts to federal transit funding. RTD must prepare for potential federal budget reductions by improving efficiency, growing ridership, and finding innovative funding solutions to maintain service levels.
Together, we can overcome these challenges
These challenges require board members who understand both the technical complexities and daily realities of public transportation. With data-driven solutions and authentic rider experience, we can rebuild RTD into the system our community deserves.
