Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility
RTD needs the proposed Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility (CRMF) to repair, maintain, clean, fuel and store the vehicles that will serve the four FasTracks commuter rail corridors: Gold Line, East Corridor, Northwest Rail and North Metro. The preferred site for the proposed CRMF is Fox North, located at 48th Avenue and Fox Street, just north of I-70 and west of I-25. A Supplemental Environmental Assessment (Supplemental EA) was conducted to evaluate the impacts its implementation may cause and proposed mitigations where appropriate.
The CRMF Supplemental EA comments, submitted during the comment period and regardless of how they were submitted, will be published and responded to in the Gold Line and East Corridor Final Environmental Impact Statements.
Facts about the proposed CRMF site:
- 30-acre site
- The majority of the property on the Fox North site was already required for other FasTracks projects
- Located on the Gold Line and Northwest Rail alignments and connected to the East and North Metro corridor lines at Denver Union Station
- The facility will repair, maintain, clean, fuel and store the RTD FasTracks commuter rail fleet
