YIMBY Action✓ EndorsesAbout Coleman Erickson
When I first started talking about RTD on YouTube in 2016, I quickly became the “train” guy at school. I decided to foster this passion and learned all I could about both how our city’s transportation infrastructure works as well as how to use my skills in multimedia production to communicate the things I found so important with other like minds and those in power.
Over the last decade, I have grown a network of engineers, teachers, politicians, and passionate advocates who understand the vision we are pursuing today to reshape how RTD serves the taxpayers and all residents who rely on public transportation.
I believe taking the bus shouldn’t be a shameful thing that triples your commute time and fills you with anxiety over your safety. Too many people skip the train because they don’t know if it will show up on time or if their connection will be made or if it will leave them stranded in the cold for over an hour.

“If transit is the circulatory system of a city, investing in quality public transit the tried and true best way to move people and is crucial to fixing the transit problems that plague us all.”
“We can build stronger communities through more accessible transit options for all and transit-oriented developments that create vibrant and comfortable places to exist for FREE!”
“A more robust public transit network that attracts more riders will get cars off the road and speed up our bus lines.”
