RTD 2019 Factsheet Booklet
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.
