If you are representing a business, the letter will have more impact if you use your companies' letterhead.
In the following section you will find a variety of comments supporting the Green Ride Colorado application for Authority to operate a "Call and Demand" and a "Scheduled" service between Northern Colorado and Denver International Airport:

Census data found on www.quickfacts.census.gov , recent traveler data posted on www.flydenver.com, and the 2007 Shamrock Airport Express annual report available from the Colorado Public Utilities Commission provided the following information:
- Denver International
Airport recently had several record breaking months
showing a significant increase in the number of travelers passing
through DIA in 2008.
- Assuming
the distribution of travelers is reasonably close to the distribution of
the population across Colorado,
then more than 10% of the travelers through DIA either begin or end their
travels in Northern Colorado. That
means that 450,000 residents and visitors traveled to or from Northern
Colorado each month.
- In 2007
Shamrock Airport Express delivered over 160,000 Northern
Colorado residents and visitors; an average of over 13,000
individual trips each month.
- The
13,000 passengers served means less than 3% of the 450,000 possible
travelers found it convenient or attractive enough to consider using the
Airport Shuttle service.
The conclusion is that 97% of the public decided that shared ride ground transportation services to and from DIA are inadequate: the Northern Colorado region is
seriously under served. Residents and visitors are opting to use their
personal vehicle, to rent a car, or to get a ride from a family member or a
friend. The transportation provided by a friend or family member doubles the
amount of pollution by turning one passenger delivery into a round trip for the car! This all results in unnecessary pollution, congestion, fuel consumption, strain on the infrastructure and stress to individuals. The lack of convenient service is bad for the public, bad for business and especially bad for the environment. It is particularly challenging for
visitors to the Northern Colorado region to
find convenient trustworthy Shared Ride Airport Shuttle service. I
fully support the application for a second Airport Shuttle service
in Northern Colorado. For the
good of the public, for the good of the economy, for the good of the
environment, please approve the application by Green Ride Colorado for authority to operate both
call and demand and scheduled Airport Shuttle service.
