RTD Service Changes at Auraria Campus

After 30 years, the Regional Transportation District (RTD) is undertaking a major reconstruction of its light rail infrastructure in downtown Denver to improve safety and mobility while extending the life of its key assets. The Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project’s first phase continues during September and will be in effect when students return to the Auraria campus for Fall semester. RTD Service changes, including increased frequency of trains and adjusted services, will be implemented on September 29. Customers are encouraged to sign up for Service Alerts and visit the project website for information about navigating during and after construction.
