2019 FACT SHEETS Regional Transportation District On the Cover: The first on-road deployment of an autonomous vehicle (AV) made its debut as RTD’s Route 61AV at the end of January 2019. The self- driving EasyMile shuttle is 100 percent electric and will connect passengers from the 61st & Pena Station along the University of Colorado A Line to the Panasonic and EasyMile offices. The shuttle can carry up to 12 passengers and will run Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., making a loop to four stops every 15 minutes at an average speed of 12 – 15 miles per hour. The goal of the project is to determine whether the autonomous vehicle could serve as a possible future first and last mile solution for transit riders.

As we explore transportation for tomorrow, we will continue providing more transit options with the opening of the G Line to Wheat Ridge and Arvada, and the extension of the E, F, and R lines from Lincoln Station to the new Ridgegate Parkway Station in Lone Tree in 2019. As we expand and our communities continue to grow, safety and customer experience remain our top goals.

Martin Luther King Jr. Day Marade on Jan. 15 to Cause Temporary Bus Detours
January service changes begin Sunday, Jan. 14 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Marade on Jan. 15 to cause temporary bus detours (DENVER) Jan. 11, 2018 – Regional Transportation District (RTD) passengers will see service changes take effect this Sunday, Jan. 14, and experience temporary detours in downtown Denver on Jan. 15 to make way for the Martin Luther King Jr. Day Marade. RTD service changes are applied three times per year to improve the overall quality and efficiency of the agency’s system. These changes update service for passengers and enable better connections with bus, light rail and specialty services across communities. One of the biggest changes taking place next week is the truncation of current D Line service and the addition of L Line service. The D Line will be separated into two lines, the D and L lines. Riders will encounter the following changes: • The D Line will operate on its current route between the Littleton/Mineral Station and downtown Denver, with all trains turning at 19th Street and heading back south. • The Welton Street segment will operate as the L Line. The L Line will operate between downtown Denver and the 30th & Downing Station, with all trains turning at 14th Street. These changes will improve reliability of service along Welton Street, especially in the northbound direction. Anyone walking through this intersection must stay in the crosswalks and stop, look and listen for trains. Drivers must pay attention to train movements from all directions and not stop on the tracks while turning from Stout Street onto 14th Street – in front of the Embassy Suites hotel – when traffic is heavy.
