NEWS RELEASE Media Contact: 720.326.7311, [email protected] Light rail wire replacement will affect service on RTD’s E and R Lines this weekend Bus shuttles will be offered between affected stations DENVER (Aug. 13, 2020) – Light rail service on the Regional Transportation District (RTD)’s E and R Lines will be affected from 3 a.m. Saturday through the end of the service day on Sunday, as overhead catenary system (OCS) wire is replaced along portions of the two lines. The OCS wires deliver power to the light rail vehicles through the pantograph that extends upward from the light rail vehicles and makes contact with the wire. While this work takes place, the E and R Lines will not run between Orchard and Dry Creek stations. The R Line will not run south of Orchard Station. Only the E Line will operate between Dry Creek and RidgeGate Parkway stations. The F Line is not running per the COVID-19 Service Plan. Bus shuttles between stations will be provided at the following locations: - Orchard Station – board at Gate B - Arapahoe at Village Center Station – board at Gate F - Dry Creek Station – board at Gate B Riders should plan for additional travel time between affected stations. Scheduled service on the E and R lines will resume Monday. Passengers are required to wear masks and asked to practice social distancing while riding on or waiting to board RTD vehicles. ABOUT RTD The Regional Transportation District develops, operates and maintains a public transportation system that meets the transit needs of close to 3 million people within an eight-county service area in the Denver Metro region. RTD’s buses, rail lines, shuttles and additional services provide approximately 100 million annual passenger trips.

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.
