SWE-RMS is kicking off this year's calendar with a summer program!
Have you ever been curious about the different FasTracks projects that are underway? Do you have questions regarding specific FasTracks lines or corridors? Are you simply interested in learning more about the processes and specific engineering challenges that RTD faces with construction projects of this size? Then join SWE-RMS on Tuesday, July 6, 2010 for a presentation on RTD FasTracks. We will hear a brief overview of the multi-billion RTD FasTracks transit expansion program. We will learn where the various corridor projects are in the planning and construction process and what is upcoming. Since the Eagle P3 project - consisting of the East Corridor, Gold Line Corridor, Commuter Rail Maintenance Facility and a portion of the Northwest Rail Corridor - is the next project to begin construction, we will hear more detail about this particular project. We will also learn about their engineering processes and some of the more interesting challenges they have faced and have an opportunity to ask additional questions about the FasTracks program.

Where: Regional Conference Room
