With strategic planning and investment, the area can evolve with bolstered economic vitality, enhanced livability, a strong sense of place, and a recognizable identity in the coming years. With its central location along the East Corridor and terminus of the Aurora Line/I-225 Rail, the residents and workers of the area and the adjacent neighborhoods will be able to travel by rail to a variety of destinations throughout the metropolitan region – downtown Denver, Denver International Airport (DIA), Southeast I-25/Denver Tech Center, Anschutz Medical Center, Aurora City Center and more – in just minutes (see Figure 1.1). Fully leveraging the signicant increase in transit connectivity to the region will require a series of key actions by a variety of players. The Peoria Station Catalytic Project assembled the key public entities – Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG), City of Aurora, City and County of Denver (CCD), Aurora Housing Authority (AHA) and the Regional Transportation District (RTD) – for an intensive planning and design process that resulted in this multifaceted implementation strategy. The Peoria Station Catalytic Project’s focused analysis, planning and design was made possible with resources associated with the Sustainable Communities Initiative (SCI). The Denver region was awarded $4.5 million from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development to support planning and implementation activities related to the large amount of resources being invested in transit. With this grant, the SCI hosts a partnership of government agencies and public and private sector organizations who work together to implement Metro Vision while leveraging the multi-billion dollar FasTracks transit system expansion. The goal of the SCI is to align investments, programs and policies to maximize the benets of the region’s investment in transit. The East Corridor, a 22.8-mile commuter rail line between Union Station and DIA, is under construction with an anticipated 2016 opening. Over the past decade, several station area and neighborhood plans have been developed at the local level for stops along the line. The City of Aurora adopted the Peoria-Smith Station Area Plan in 2009. As part of SCI’s corridor implementation activities, a site offering the potential for transformational changes was selected for each corridor. Peoria Station was selected as the catalytic project site for the East Corridor. FIGURE 1.1 - REGIONAL RAIL TRANSIT NETWORK 2 CHAPTER 1 INTRODUCTION The purpose of the project is two-fold: First, 3.

  • May 2019 Proposed Service Changes
    May 2019 Proposed Service Changes BUS Route 0 – South Broadway Running time analysis resulting in schedule adjustments. Route 1 – 1st Avenue Move east terminal from Birch/Virginia to Virginia/Cherry, immediately behind King Soopers at Leetsdale/Cherry for operator restroom and customer convenience. Route 15 – East Colfax This proposal is an effort to relieve passenger overloads east of Monaco to VA Hospital by adding selected trips between 9:00am and 1:00pm. Move short turn recovery location from Oneida/Colfax to Leyden/Colfax, for operator restroom access. Close to Walgreens, McDonalds, 7-11. Add weekday bus for recovery and on-time performance. 16/16L – West Colfax Running time analyses on weekend services. Route 33 – Platte Valley Due to low ridership performance, it proposed that this route service be discontinued. Current ridership performance stands at 10.3 passenger per hour, which falls below the Urban Local ridership standard. This proposal would impact approximately 55 weekday passengers. Alternative service to the Route 33 can be found in using combinations of Central and West Light Rail corridors, Routes 4, 9, 30 and 30Limited. Route 36L – Fort Logan Limited Running time analysis, for operator recovery and on-time performance. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 44 – 44th Avenue Reroute eastbound buses via Larimer Street instead of Lawrence, between Broadway and Downing. This change consolidates service onto the historic transit corridor, instead of being split between two streets. Bus stop improvement along northbound Larimer are currently underway in support of this reroute. No cost impacts are anticipated. Route 51 – Sheridan Boulevard This proposal would, formalize the current 4-block route detour in Englewood, which was put into effect due to the City having converted a part of Elati Street into a one-way operation.

  • RTD I-225 Rail Line Montview Alignment Change
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE RTD Board Approves Moving Planned I-225 Rail Station from Montview to Fitzsimons Parkway CU Officials Commit to Shuttle Service from Fitzsimons Station to Anschutz Medical Campus DENVER, June 25, 2013—The Regional Transportation District (RTD) Board of Directors has approved a request from the University of Colorado (CU) Anschutz Medical Campus to relocate the planned Montview Station on the I-225 Rail Line to a new location at Fitzsimons Parkway. CU officials requested the station be moved due to concerns for adequate mitigation of electromagnetic interference (EMI) and vibration near sensitive research equipment at current and future medical buildings. This decision by the Board of Directors will allow the I-225 project team to identify environmental impacts and propose mitigation before moving forward with design and construction. “We will continue to collaborate with our partners to ensure that our project meets the needs of the greater community,” said RTD General Manager Phil Washington. “We will develop a solution that keeps the project moving forward while staying on budget.” During the 2007 - 2009 environmental and early design process, RTD and CU evaluated options for mitigating EMI and vibration from the train, but found that previous measures identified might not be sufficient for future technologies. Additional methods of mitigation were considered but found to be too costly. The project team aims to have a new alignment and station site determined, with design underway, by the end of the year. The I-225 Rail Line is a 10.5-mile light rail extension that will travel through the City of Aurora and make key connections to the Anschutz Medical Campus and the future VA Hospital.

  • Leveraging Existing Transit Infrastructure for Equitable Vaccine Distribution Luna Hoopes Advanced Geospatial Methods Spring 2021 Client: Mile High Connects
    Leveraging Existing Transit Infrastructure for Equitable Vaccine Distribution Luna Hoopes Advanced Geospatial Methods Spring 2021 Client: Mile High Connects PAGE 1 BACKGROUND Mile High Connects is a Denver-based non-profit organization that aims to increase access to housing choices, good jobs, quality schools and essential services via public transit in the Denver Metro region. COVID Check Colorado launched in May 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and has provided COVID-19 testing. The organization is now working to ensure provision of COVID-19 vaccines to all Colorado residents. When the COVID-19 pandemic began, Mile High Connects engaged with COVID Check Colorado to identify areas of inequity around COVID-related services, primarily testing and vaccines. Because Mile High Connects prioritizes vulnerable populations who often rely on public transit, they are pursuing a partnership with the Regional Transportation District (RTD), in which RTD would provide the land and infrastructure for semi-permanent vaccine distribution sites in underserved areas. After review of existing RTD facilities and in conjunction with the client, it was determined that RTD Park-n-Ride locations are suited for semi-permanent vaccine distribution sites because of their established infrastructure such as protected areas, utility connections, and existing waste management services. The study area for this analysis is the RTD service area (see Figure 1). By responding to the following research question, this analysis is intended to help initiate a conversation between Mile High Connects and RTD to explore how RTD can provide resources in the vaccination effort. RESEARCH QUESTION Which RTD Park-n-Ride locations are eligible for installation of semi-permanent vaccine distribution sites? Eligibility is based on the lack of existing vaccine distribution sites in Park-n-Ride walksheds with a 20-minute walking time (1600 meters).

    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. Route 61AV is a pilot project that was approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the newly formed Colorado Autonomous Vehicle Task Force.
