I support
Tom Tobiassen for RTD Director for District F because his goals include:
1) The completion of the FasTracks program with focus on the completion of the I-225 Light Rail Corridor through the Aurora City Center and the Anschutz Medical Campus at Fitzsimons and the completion of the Denver Union Station commuter rail East Corridor to Denver International Airport.
2) More and improved parking at the Nine Mile Light Rail Station.
3) Improved service with bus routes that get residents to and from employment and activity centers in Aurora.
4) Improved information systems that provide transit users with the tools they need to use the RTD system easily and efficiently.
5) Increased ridership through education and outreach programs that help new riders navigate through what can seem to be a daunting transit system.
6) To advocate for Transit Oriented Development (TOD) at rail stations that provide housing options for individuals who choose to use an automobile less frequently.
7) As the RTD Director for District F, Tom Tobiassen is committed to holding monthly town meetings to discuss issues and ideas with district residents.
