RTD prepared to support Denver Broncos fans attending Dec. 15 game with service and connections
RTD is prepared to support an increase in ridership during the Broncos game on Dec. 15 at Empower Field at Mile High. The stadium’s close proximity to a number of bus stops and rail stations makes public transit a safe and ideal way for football fans to attend the game.
Broncos fans are encouraged to use the agency’s Next Ride trip planning tool and simply type “Denver Broncos” in the destination field. RTD’s trip planner will show all transit options from a customer’s current location to Empower Field. The “Denver Broncos” navigation feature will list train lines and bus routes, along with departure times from the user’s current location.
Rail Service
Before and after the game, RTD will offer regularly scheduled service on the E and W lines, which serve Empower Field at Mile High Station, as well as A, B, G and N lines which provide service to Denver Union Station. Extra service is not currently planned for this event. Customers are encouraged to be patient and prepare for large crowds, especially following the game.
Bus Service
Several local bus routes are available to accommodate customers attending the football game. Bus routes operating in the vicinity of Empower Field at Mile High include Route 30 (South Federal Boulevard) and Route 31 (North Federal Boulevard). Additionally, the 1, 15L, 16 and 31 all serve Decatur•Federal Station.
For customers looking for an easy transfer to the E or W lines at Denver Union Station, the Flatiron Flyer and local bus routes 0, 9, 10, 15, 20 and 32 are all options.
Parking
RTD’s Park-n-Rides provide easy and convenient access to reach the game by public transit. A full list of Park-n-Rides in the metro area is available online.
Planned Maintenance
Light rail trains in the Southeast and Southwest corridors will operate under a regular schedule, however, the temporary speed restrictions currently in place along isolated segments of the network are causing some delays.
