Q and A: Meet the 2016 Candidates for the RTD Board of Directors

The 15-member Regional Transportation District Board of Directors reps constituents from all over the map, literally, and makes decisions that affect Coloradans — in some ways more directly than the president. Eight seats are up for grabs this November 8.

Streetsblog wants you to be informed when you decide who fills those seats, so we’ll publish interviews with candidates leading up to Election Day. (Hat tip to Transit Alliance for the footage from a closed candidate forum last month.)  It’s a work in progress, but you’ll find interviews with all the candidates on this page by Election Day.
