RTD L Line Fact Sheet safely connecting regional transportation district your city L Line Effective January 14, 2018 The 5.3-mile Central Rail Line also known as the D Line opened in 1994, and is Denver’s first rail line between the I-25 & Broadway Station and the 30th & Downing Station. L Line service • As part of the January 2018 service changes, the operation of the D Line will be separated into two lines, the D Line and the L Line. ― The Welton Street segment will operate as the L Line, as proposed in the Central Rail Line Extension Mobility Study, and will replace the D Line. ― The L Line will operate on the current D Line route between the 18th & Stout Station and the 30th & Downing Station, with all trains turning at 14th Street. ― The changes will provide better service on the two different segments, including reliability of service along Welton Street, especially in the northbound direction. • Service frequency: Weekday, every 15 minutes (5 a.m. – 8 p.m.) every 30 minutes 8 p.m. to midnight. Weekend, every 15 minutes (8 a.m. – 8 p.m.) every 30 minutes 6 a.m. to 8 a.m., 8 p.m. to midnight. D Line and C Line changes • The D Line will operate on its current route between the Littleton/Mineral Station and 18th & California Station, with all trains turning at 19th Street. ― With the implementation of the L Line, weekday rush-hour frequency will be reduced from approximately every 10 minutes to every 15 minutes, and train lengths will increase from 3 to 4 cars. The reduced frequency during weekday rush hours will be replaced by the increase in service on the C Line and new L Line. ― Weekday midday service to the Littleton/Mineral Station will have a combined 15-minute frequency between the C and D lines. ― Evening and late night service will be reduced, alternate service will be provided by C Line and L Line trips. • C Line weekday rush-hour frequency will increase from every 30 minutes to every 15 minutes, and late night service will be extended similar to the E Line.

  • News Release
    NEWS RELEASE Media Contact: 720.326.7311, [email protected] Today marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of the Southwest Light Rail Line Service was the first to connect suburbs and downtown Denver by rail DENVER (July 14, 2020) – The Regional Transportation District (RTD) marks the 20th anniversary today of the opening of the Southwest Light Rail Line from I-25 and Broadway to Englewood and Littleton. The line was the first to serve the south metro suburbs by rail. The Southwest Rail Line – an extension of the D Line – added five new stations, at Evans, Englewood, Oxford, Littleton•Downtown, and Littleton•Mineral. Future plans for this line will eventually connect downtown Denver to C-470 and Lucent in Highlands Ranch when RTD secures funds to build the Southwest Rail Extension, part of the 2004 FasTracks plan. “The success of the Southwest Light Rail Line was key in launching more rail connections over the next two decades,” said RTD Chief Executive Officer and General Manager Paul J. Ballard. “We are excited to mark this milestone as we prepare for the Sept. 21 opening of our newest commuter rail line, the N Line, further enhancing connectivity throughout the region.” When the Southwest Line opened, projected ridership was reached almost immediately, surpassing the forecast of 8,400 riders per weekday and, in April 2002, averaging 17,900 riders at the five stations. In 2019, average weekday ridership reached 18,400 for the C and D Lines combined. The Southwest Line is one of RTD's great examples of regional collaboration between RTD, the Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT), the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) and local governments.

  • News Release 720.326.7311
    news release 720.326.7311 RTD celebrates a quarter century of light rail service Today marks 25th anniversary of Central Rail Line opening in 1994 DENVER (Oct. 7, 2019) – The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is celebrating a quarter century of light rail service in the metro Denver region today. The agency’s first rail line, the 5.3-mile Central Rail Line, opened 25 years ago, offering a vital connection between the Five Points neighborhood and downtown Denver. To thank the public for its help in making RTD light rail a success, the transit agency will host customer appreciation events at the two original endpoint stations for the Central Rail Line, now known as the D Line. RTD staff will be providing riders with special commemorative buttons. What: Rider appreciation events, 25th anniversary of light rail When: 6:30-8:30 a.m. today Where: 30th & Downing and I-25 & Broadway stations As the first light rail line in RTD’s system, the Central Rail Line served as the catalyst for a new mode of transportation across the metro area, proving so popular that RTD had to order more light rail cars to accommodate the volume of people who wanted to ride. In January 2018, RTD split the operation of the D Line into two lines: the current D Line, which provides service between downtown Denver and Littleton; and the L Line, which travels between downtown Denver and the Five Points and River North neighborhoods. These changes offered service that is better tailored to the two different segments and increased reliability along Denver’s Welton Street.
