Reminder: RTD seeking feedback on proposed September 2024 service changes
Public meetings start today; online survey available for the first time to share feedback about proposed changes
DENVER (June 18, 2024) –– The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is inviting customers to share feedback about a number of proposed service changes that, if approved, will be implemented in September. Customer feedback is an important step to ensure RTD’s services are responsive to community needs. The proposed changes are formulated to enhance reliability, improve on-time performance, address seasonal school adjustments and accommodate maintenance projects.
Notable proposed changes include restoring 15-minute frequencies on the E and H lines, reinstating service on the downtown L Line, and separating Route 0 into two distinct patterns (Union Station to Englewood Civic Center Station and Englewood Civic Center Station to Highlands Ranch Town Center Station). A full list of the proposed changes is available on RTD’s Service Changes webpage.
Customers, community members and stakeholders are invited to attend an upcoming public meeting to learn more about the proposed changes, ask questions, and share their thoughts.
