The Regional Transportation District has submitted a “detailed action plan” addressing federal concerns about ongoing problems with the timing of safety gates at crossings on the University of Colorado A-Line to the airport and the yet-to-open G-Line to the west suburbs.
RTD on Friday evening, the day of a deadline set by the Federal Railroad Administration for RTD to submit a corrective plan, announced that it has indeed submitted a plan and that the district “will do everything possible to ensure that the plan is accepted and implemented.”
Federal regulators have demanded that RTD solve the ongoing issues or face the possibility of a shutdown of the 23-mile A-Line.
Ridership on the A-Line is growing, RTD said Friday, and it plans to “double capacity” on the line by adding cars to trains starting next month.
The newly submitted plan outlines steps that will be taken to resolve federal concerns within one year, the news release said.
