The Los Angeles-based Hyperloop One selected the Rocky Mountain Hyperloop team as one of 35 semifinalists worldwide to build a Hyperloop system. The system would consist of a series of tubes which contain levitation-based vehicles traveling at speeds up to 700 mph.

The proposed northern Colorado route would take passengers between the Denver International Airport and Greeley. The semifinalist selection was made based on the regional growth opportunities, available space to place the system, and length requirements. Other semifinalists come from a total of 17 countries, with the US having an additional 11 teams, India an additional five, and the UK an additional four.
