Poll: Majority Of Coloradans Approve Tax Hike For Front Range Rail Service
The poll was run by RBI Strategies and Magellan Strategies from Oct. 4 to Oct. 8. A total of 600 Coloradans were selected at random.
DENVER (CBS4) – Many living along the Front Range in Colorado like the idea of a rail service connecting cities from Fort Collins to Pueblo to avoid Interstate 25 traffic, but how do people really feel about paying for it? That’s one question a new poll tried to gauge.
The poll was run by RBI Strategies and Magellan Strategies from Oct. 4 to Oct. 8. A total of 600 people were selected at random in cities across the Front Range. This poll followed a prior survey developed and run by the Colorado Department of Transportation from July through September. That survey asked commuters in general terms how they felt about a new train service. It showed that 95% of people who were asked about a rail service believed it could help address transportation needs along the Front Range.
