The Regional Transportation District wants to hear from riders
about proposed changes that would become effective in May, if
passed by the board of directors.
Three times a year, RTD proposes changes as a way to improve the
efficiency and quality of the district’s public transportation
services.
The most recent proposals involve changes in service on some
routes and elimination of others.
For example, the proposal would eliminate Route 55 while
revising the weekday service schedules on routes 67 and 77 that
serve areas from the Key Caryl park-n-Ride to the Mineral Light
Rail Station.
There also is a proposal to eliminate Route 465 due to low
ridership.
Another proposal would eliminate call-n-Ride service in
Highlands Ranch and eliminate call-n-Ride service on Saturdays in
Lone Tree.
RTD plans a series of public hearings in January and
February.
Staff members will be at the meetings to explain the proposed
chances and answer questions.
RTD also wants to hear from the public about the proposed
service changes.
Information gathered at the hearing will be summarized and
provided to the RTD board of directors at the regularly scheduled
monthly February meeting, when final approval will be
requested.
