Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler Named in Committee
Vail Town Manager Stan Zemler has been named to a 17-person Interim Transit and Rail Advisory Committee which has been formed to advise the Colorado Transportation Commission and Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) on how to initially focus its new Division of Transit and Rail.
Earlier this year, the Colorado Legislature signed Senate Bill 94, sponsored by state Senator Suzanne Williams-District 28 and Representative Claire Levy-District 13, creating a Division of Transit and Rail within CDOT. The new division has the authority to promote, plan, design, build, finance, operate, maintain and contract for transit services including bus, passenger rail and advanced guideway systems services. Creation of an Interim Transit and Rail Advisory Committee was included in the legislation.
The interim committee is tasked with recommending a long-term advisory structure, including the advisory structure's purpose and role, in support of the transit and rail-related functions of CDOT. It is also anticipated that the interim committee will provide input to CDOT and the Transportation Commission on the mission and organization of the new division.
Zemler was appointed to the panel by CDOT Executive Director Russell George in consultation with the Transportation Commission as a result of his work as an executive board member of the I-70 Corridor Coalition.
