Many of our members are transit dependent and have been hurt by the 60% cut in service since the pandemic. We need to work together to ensure that we have the strongest transit system possible to serve people with disabilities and others who are transit dependent. #coleg

Especially the listening to our concerns about board reform. We are excited to participate in the TLRC process over the interim. Transit needs more funding support in Colorado and we are open to having a process to get there. #coleg

.@ccdc501c3 is here today in support of HB 1447 (transit reform). Sponsors have done a tremendous amount to listen to our concerns and brought amendments to address them. #coleg
