As the RangerXpress gains steam you'll hear a great deal of -- well let's be honest -- bull. Transit opponents, with so very few honestly bad facts about transit, tend to get creative about the truth.

You'll hear that transit will destroy your community, and that your children will grow up to be felons -- all because you'll have a brand-new train station. Nothing could be farther from the truth.

The RangerXpress will improve quality of life as well as:

• Transit reduces traffic congestion and the emissions that pollute Colorado's air. And it makes our roads safer
  
  
• By taking people to work, services, shopping and leisure-time activities, transit helps support economic development. For revitalizing cities, and growing the economy of Colorado's towns, transit is a vital tool.
  
  
• For seniors, transit facilitates independence.
  
  
• For state residents with disabilities, it expands access.
  
  
• Did we say it yet? It improves our economy and creates jobs.
