Created in 2009 via state legislation, CDOT's Division of Transit & Rail is responsible for the planning, developing, operating, and integrating transit and rail into the statewide transportation system. The division also works with other transit and rail providers to plan, promote, and implement investments in transit and rail services statewide and administers the Federal Grant Program and the State Grant Program (FASTER).

Summary
The division works with other transit and rail providers to plan, promote, and implement investments in transit and rail services statewide. To accomplish this, it developed the Colorado State Freight and Passenger Rail Plan (approved by the Colorado Transportation Commission in March 2012). With the development of the State Rail Plan, CDOT is now eligible for Federal Railroad Administration funds.
In March 2015, a Statewide Transit Plan was developed. This plan identifies local, regional, and statewide transit and passenger rail needs and priorities. Both of these required plans will be integrated into the long-range Statewide Transportation Plan.
