Transit

RTD

The Regional Transportation District of Denver provides a host of valuable transit services to the greater Denver area. In fact, the District covers an area larger than the state of Rhode Island! (Sorry, Rhode Island. You're always getting compared to bigger things.) These services include bus, light rail, Park-n-Ride, Call-n-Ride, Bike-n-Ride,  SeniorRide, SkyRide, the free 16th Street MallRide, BroncosRide, RockiesRide, and many more.

EcoPass

As previously mentioned, RTD offers employers the opportunity to purchase EcoPasses for their employees each year. Employees are issued an EcoPass smart card valid for unlimited rides on all Local, Express, and Regional bus and light rail service. The EcoPass also automatically enrolls employees in DRCOG's Guaranteed Ride Home program.

FasTracks

RTD's FasTracks is the largest voter-approved transit expansion program in the nation. It includes 122 miles of new rail service, 18 miles of bus rapid transit, 57 new stations, 31 new Park-n-Rides, 21,000 new parking spaces, and a complete redevelopment of Union Station.

The FasTracks program is important not only to the Denver metro region but to people around the world as well. The project has been visited by representatives from several countries interested in learning how to implement similar programs.
