Among hundreds of world-wide applicants, a Denver-Greeley team’s proposal for a Hyperloop route extending along the Front Range was chosen to move forward against nine other teams in the global Hyperloop One competition. The competition is seeking to identify the most viable route for an ultra-fast means of mass transportation, which has the potential to take passengers from Denver to Greeley in 6 minutes. Hyperloops transport passengers through low pressure tubes in pods that gradually accelerate up to airline speeds.

The Colorado Department of Transportation, the City and County of Denver, Denver International Airport, and the City of Greeley will now partner with AECOM to conduct a feasibility study for a route spanning from Cheyenne to Pueblo.
