Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, October 25, 2026 —
Issue 7A aims to fund the Colorado Connector, a proposed passenger train service that would connect Pueblo with Fort Collins. The route would include two stops in Colorado Springs: one downtown and another on the city’s north side.
The proposal presents the rail line as an alternative to car travel. The information provided does not specify how frequently trains would run, how long trips would take, or which other communities might receive stops along the route.
Issue 7A is described as a funding measure for the service, but details about its funding mechanism, the amount sought and the source of the money were not provided. The available information also does not state when voters or officials might consider the measure, whether it has been approved, or when the proposed service could begin.
The description identifies the planned endpoints and the two Colorado Springs stops, but does not provide a full route map or explain how the station locations were selected. It also does not include projected ridership, operating costs, construction requirements or other service details. Those points remain unspecified in the information available for this report.
As described, the central question raised by Issue 7A is whether funding should be directed toward a passenger rail connection between Pueblo and Fort Collins, with two stops in Colorado Springs. Further details about the proposal’s cost, approval status and implementation timeline were not provided.
