Jeff Leib gave an overview and moderated a discussion on the metro area's transit picture, the beat he covers daily as transportation reporter for the Denver Post . Peggy Catlin, Jeff Leib, and Cal Marsella, with JEC President and CEO Tom Clark, and JEC VIce Chair Esther Kettering. Marsella presented RTD's plan, that will eventually link all major metro-area corridors by light rail and other forms of mass transit. Sharing the success of the southwest light rail line, he said demand for light rail services has dramatically exceeded expectations and the metro area's ability to fund such projects. Leib shares Marsella's concern.

Catlin said CDOT's partnership with RTD in developing multi-modal transit approaches has been beneficial for the metro area and will lead to faster project completion and happier commuters.
