Alternatives to parking
Though we try to plan adequate space at all Park-n-Rides, certain locations fill up early. If they do, consider the following:
- Take an RTD bus or Call-n-Ride to your Park-n-Ride, and ask the driver for a transfer when you board. Use it as a credit toward your fare on your connecting route.
- Try another Park-n-Ride along your route.
- Have someone drop you off and pick you up.
- Start/join a carpool or vanpool.
- Ride your bike, rent a bike locker or bring your bike with you on bus or light rail. RTD has a limited number of leased bike lockers available and many bike racks.
The fine print about Park-n-Ride and parking fees
RTD Park-n-Rides are for the specific use of transit passengers. Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis. Covered and uncovered parking options vary by location. Drivers of vehicles who are in violation of the parking rules and fees may receive a warning, be ticketed, booted or towed at the owner’s expense. RTD is not responsible for loss, damage, or theft of your vehicle or belongings while parked at a Park-n-Ride. Central Parking manages and monitors all license plates daily at Park-n-Rides where parking fees apply.
