New light-rail and bus proposal has $4.8 billion price tag (Rocky Mountain News) - The Regional Transportation District on Tuesday put a new $4.8 billion price tag on its ambitious rapid- transit expansion known as FasTracks, restoring pieces it had cut in August. The latest proposal would build all the rail and bus rapid-transit corridors proposed in the original plan but would pay for it by stretching the construction period from 10 years to 12 and by reducing initial service on some lines.
