What is the RTD Neighborhood Eco Pass? bus

It's a deeply discounted annual bus pass purchased by a neighborhood organization for all members of participating households. This photo ID pass entitles residents to one year of unlimited travel on all RTD Local, Express, Regional, call-n-Ride, and Light Rail routes, plus unlimited skyRide service to Denver International Airport.

The Neighborhood Eco Pass is an environmental alternative to single occupancy vehicles, a cost-saving convenience for residents and a great way to enhance community relations.

How does the program work?

Its simple. Once a community organization concludes their Neighborhood Eco Pass agreement with RTD, eligible residents are issued individual photo ID passes. RTD will schedule photo sessions at your site. Then, when residents ride the bus, they just show their Neighborhood Eco Pass ID to the driver and take a seat. It's that easy!

What are the requirements?

Only neighborhoods located within the RTD District are eligible.
The neighborhood is required to be represented by a registered neighborhood organization, alssociation, city or county government entity for the purpose of entering into an agreement with RTD.
All housing units within a participating residential neighborhood are included in the total price of the program.
The neighborhood organization appoints someone to act as liaison between RTD and the neighborhood residents. This individual is responsible for:

providing RTD with the requested household information; and,
collecting the funds to meet the terms of the agreement.

The neighborhood organization provides a map outlining the neighborhood's boundaries, plus other neighborhood invormation requested by RTD.

How much does it cost?

RTD charges an annual fee per housing unit. The price reflects the number of eligible housing units, amount of transit availability and useage.

The Neighborhood Eco Pass program offers substantial savings when compared to the per person price of a monthly pass.
