2017 Report to Region
TRANSPORTATION FOR TOMORROW REPORT TO THE REGION: 2016/2017 Regional Transportation District 1 WELCOME TO YOUR TRANSIT SYSTEM At RTD, we’re proud of our accomplishments in expanding and operating one of the best transit systems in the country. Within the past three years, RTD has transformed the region through transit. From opening Civic Center Station, the Flatiron Flyer bus rapid transit service, the University of Colorado A Line to the airport, the B Line to Westminster, and the R Line through Aurora, RTD continues to connect communities. With the introduction of an all-electric mall shuttle bus fleet, the launch of mobile ticketing, expansion of the smart card, and real- time transit information, we’re providing mobility options and redefining our region. We’re investing in projects that will enhance the quality of service we provide our customers, such as exploring solutions for first and last mile destinations, redeveloping the 16th Street Mall, developing rapid transit across the region, improving transit along East Colfax, and facilitating transit-oriented development across the district. 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. We’ve started a K-9 unit and increased our security staff to provide added levels of protection for our customers and the public.
