The RTD FasTracks Program comprises 12 projects, including a $6.7 billion build of 122 miles of new commuter rail and light rail, plus 18 miles of bus rapid transit service, a new commuter rail maintenance facility, 31 new Park-n-Ride stations with 21,000 new parking spaces at rail and bus stations, and complete renovation of Denver’s historic Union Station to become a multimodal transportation hub.

RTD’s Capital Programs comprise of 25 smaller projects, including $1 million in maintenance and repairs to station and bridge infrastructure, driver relief stations, Park-n-Ride stations and lighting systems.

“One of the drivers [for choosing Aconex] is that FasTracks and the RTD Capital Programs is a very large program. With these large programs, it requires cooperation from municipalities and agencies and all the key stakeholders.” 

“Cooperation requires collaboration and Aconex provides us with that.”

How Aconex helped

Lisa Alvarado, Regional Transportation District, said: “We were able to implement Aconex not only for RTD, but for the entire concessionaire team and all the stakeholders…and that was crucial. We were able to start loading documents right after the contract was awarded. Everybody jumped on board and we were up and running in no time.”

“With a [program] of this magnitude, it often requires large staffing…Formerly, we had to have 3 document controllers to support only a med size project. With Aconex, we are going to support over 40 projects with a staff of 9. And that is huge in terms of cost savings.”
