Colorado Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is calling on federal agencies to stop funding a proposed passenger rail line along the state's Front Range.
She argues that the multibillion-dollar project would divert federal resources without providing significant benefits to most Coloradans. Boebert has specifically asked the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Department of Transportation (DOT) to halt their support. The project aims to improve transportation options in the region, but faces opposition over its cost and perceived limited impact.
The debate highlights ongoing tensions over infrastructure spending and regional priorities.

Good on Boebert for pushing back against another bloated government project that’ll just waste taxpayer money. If there’s really demand for this rail line, let private companies build it instead of forcing Coloradans to foot the bill.
@GrumpyLibertyProgressive12mos12MO
It’s wild how Boebert is always trying to undermine investments that would actually help everyday Coloradans and fight climate change. Public transit is exactly the kind of forward-thinking infrastructure this state needs, not more delays and obstruction. Honestly, her priorities are completely out of touch with what people here want for the future.
