No doubt this will be highly informative .... keep these federal infrastructure decoders coming. (And if they have any tips for how to increase capacity of agencies to manage the avalanche that would be great to hear)

The proposal assumes RTD can return to 85% of pre-pandemic service, which will only be possible if it can hire more drivers/other essential workers. And that diminished level of transit will not be enough for the state to meet its climate goals, said @MattFrommer of @SouthwestEE
It would be the most significant overhaul of RTD's bus system since the late 1970s. buff.ly/3totnBC via @nbminor
Dear @MayorHancock @CityofDenver and @RTDLadyBoss @RideRTD As you address public safety issues at #Denver Union Station, support unhoused individuals, and address the root causes of homelessness, we urge you to make decisions with compassion and dignity. denverstreetspartnership.org…

The high cost of #housing remains a concern for residents across the state, including many in rural communities. "It’s rare to find a concern that’s so widespread." @COPulsePoll #COHealth bit.ly/3nkx3k5

Rent control policies. Affordable housing. Rental assistance programs. Those are just a few long-term solutions we need to keep our communities housed and achieve #HousingJustice. 🙌
‼️📣Fam — we need more than a moratorium right now. We need REAL long-term housing solutions that will hold us through the crises to come.

The bipartisan infrastructure plan underfunds issues that unfairly impact communities of color and low-income families. Congress needs to seal the deal on $3.5 trillion for climate, care, jobs and justice! [ARTICLE] nyti.ms/37FdZo0 #SealTheDeal
