Meet Jack Rosenthal
A lifelong Coloradan with deep technical expertise and a genuine commitment to public transportation.
Born and raised in Steamboat Springs, I've called the Denver-Boulder region home since 2014. With both a Bachelor's and Master's degree in Computer Science from Colorado School of Mines, I spent five years as a software engineer at Google Boulder before transitioning to high-frequency trading, where I currently apply my engineering skills to solve complex problems.
My professional background in data analysis, systems optimization, and large-scale infrastructure gives me unique insights into the challenges facing RTD and the solutions that can make our transit system work better for everyone.

Authentic Transit User
I don't just advocate for public transit, I live it. With over 500 RTD boardings in the past year logged on my EcoPass, I experience the system's successes and failures firsthand every day. RTD needs board members who understand the daily reality of riders.
Data-Driven Solutions
I collect and analyze RTD's real-time data every 30 seconds, tracking patterns in schedule adherence, service reliability, and system performance. Evidence-based decision making is how we identify problems and measure the success of our solutions.
Community-Centered Approach
This campaign is about serving you, not advancing my career. I believe in accessible leadership, which is why I'm sharing my direct contact information. Call or text me at 720-789-3676, or email me to discuss how we can make RTD work better for your needs.
Ready to Transform RTD Together?
Boulder County deserves representation that understands both the technical challenges and daily realities of public transportation. With your support, we can bring this vision to the RTD board.
