Light and Heavy Rail  
A growing network of rail
 

Established Lines
Burlington Northern Santa Fe and Union Pacific Railroad provide freight service. Passenger service is available on AMTRAK.

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) operates bus and light rail service in Aurora and throughout the metro area. RTD operates regional, limited and express bus routes during the morning and evening rush hours and local service all day. Twenty-four bus routes and four Park-n-Ride facilities, which primarily accommodate rush hour commuters, serve Aurora.

FasTracks
In November 2004, voters approved FasTracks, a mass transit expansion plan that will add 122 miles of rail and light rail, 18 miles of bus rapid transit service, 21,000 new parking spaces at rail and bus stations, and enhance bus service for easy, convenient bus/rail connections throughout the metro region. In Aurora, the light rail line will closely follow I-225. By 2025, the I-225 corridor daily ridership will range from 15,200 to 17,800 people.
