Now’s Your Chance To Tell RTD What You Think Of Its Plan For Service Cuts

Hart Van Denburg/CPR News
The Denver metro commute was slow Thursday morning Oct. 10 as the season’s first snow fell on the north and central Rockies and the Front Range. An RTD light rail train stopped at the Dry Creek Station.

Have thoughts on the Regional Transportation District's proposal to cut service later this year?

These cuts were proposed last fall as RTD's last-ditch effort to give its overworked operators a break. It's short about 100 bus drivers and 60 light rail operators and the remaining crew has been working forced overtime to keep service levels up.

Six bus lines would be cut entirely, with reductions on 19 other bus routes and three light rail lines. Special buses for sporting and community events would be suspended too.

The RTD board will likely vote on the plan in March. If approved, it would go into effect in May.
