Rail Transit Purpose/Description Transit maintenance facilities are required for the storage, maintenance, and upkeep of transit vehicles. They typically include vehicle and supply storage, a maintenance shop(s), offices, and employee parking. Application to the I-70 East For the I-70 East, we will evaluate potential maintenance facility sites for the various transit technologies that are evaluated in the Draft Environmental Impact Statement (i.e., commuter rail and/or light rail). Commuter Rail For commuter rail, we will be evaluating options for sharing a maintenance facility with other planned commuter rail transit corridors including the US 36 to Boulder and the to Thornton. A centralized maintenance facility, which is shared among corridors, allows RTD to reduce costs and operate its transit system more efficiently. Light Rail For light rail, we will be working with the other light rail corridors to see if a new facility is required and where it would be located. Light rail technology does not share maintenance facilities with commuter rail. Existing RTD Light Rail A cooperative effort between FHWA, FTA, CDOT, RTD, and
Commuter Rail Central Carriles de Transporte Central de Mantenimiento Site Requirements Several locations for a commuter rail central maintenance facility were identified. The site requirements for a shared commuter rail maintenance facility include: 70-90 acres Ability to serve the I-70 East, US 36, and/or the Close to Station Shaped to accommodate required features Ability for expansion Two or more points of exclusive RTD rail access Minimal conflict with freight operations Acceptable roadway access Requisitos de Sitio Varias locaciones para una área central de mantenimiento para los carriles de transporte rápido fueron identificados. Los requisitos para compartir el área de mantenimiento para los carriles de transporte rapido incluyen: 70-90 acres Habilidad de servir los Corredores Este I-70, US 36, y el Corredor Metro Cerca de Station Formado para dar cabidad a las características requeridas Habilidad para expansión Dos o más puntos de acceso exclusivo para los ferrocarriles de RTD Conflicto mínimo de operaciones de flete Acceso aceptable para la calzada La información mostrada en esta exhibición destaca el progreso del trabajo conceptual y es susceptible a cambiar conforme continue el proceso del informe de impacto ambiental.

Commuter Rail Central Screening Process and Criteria In cooperation with the US 36 EIS team, several locations for a central maintenance facility have been identified for commuter rail. Two levels of screening have been completed to reduce commuter rail locations down to the three that are recommended for evaluation in the DEIS. The screening criteria that were used to eliminate some of the locations are shown below. st 1 Level Screening Criteria (Transportation function) Located within 5 miles (20 minutes) of Station Meets size and configuration requirements Rail access to site is at-grade On RTD rail corridor Does not require crossing of freight tracks Does not require closing of major roadway Does not have substantial environmental impacts nd 2 Level Screening Criteria (Site relationship/compatibility) Current on-site freight operations/functions can be relocated Does not require new infrastructure for site access Significant environmental issues Requires less property acquisitions Requires less roadway track crossings Has minimal impact to current traffic patterns A cooperative effort between FHWA, FTA, CDOT, RTD, and
