News Release 720.326.7311 news release 720.326.7311 Light rail wire replacement will affect service for RTD’s E, H and R lines this weekend Bus shuttles will be offered between affected stations DENVER (April 23, 2020) – Light rail service on the Regional Transportation District's (RTD) E, H and R lines will be affected beginning Sunday, April 26, at 3 a.m. thru Monday, April 27, at 3 a.m. due to replacement of the Overhead Catenary System (OCS) wire. There will be no service between Yale and Orchard stations on the E Line; no service between Yale and Florida stations on the H Line; and no service south of the Dayton Station. In order to continue providing optimal service to our patrons, crews will be replacing existing wire along portions of the E, H and R 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 OCS wire. Train riders should plan for additional travel time between affected stations. Bus shuttles will be provided between the stations. Passengers are highly encouraged to wear masks when riding transit. Details of the maintenance work: Sunday, April 26 from 3 a.m. through Monday, April 27, at 3 a.m. Affected stations and bus shuttle boarding locations: • Yale Station – Board at Gate A • Southmoor Station – Board at Gate A • Dayton Station - Board next to platform • Orchard Station – Board at Gate B • Belleview Station - Board at Gate B 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. The agency’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.
