RTD was one of the first transit agencies in the country to provide service specifically designed for persons with disabilities. Our goal is to provide 100 percent-accessible service to all disabled individuals, and we expect to reach that goal in the near future.

Passengers with disabilities may be eligible for a Special Discount Card, which allows disabled passengers to ride at a discounted rate. Please click here RTD Cash Fares for information on fares for persons with disabilities. For information please call 303-299-2667.

Personal attendants or aides (including trainers) ride free.

Accessible Bus Fleet

Currently about 99% of all buses are accessible with wheelchair lifts. Look at the front of your printed bus schedule for the wheelchair symbol to determine if the route has buses that are lift-equipped.

access-a-Ride
access-a-Ride is a curb-to-curb transportation system for disabled individuals who:

• are unable to ride, board or exit from a regular bus,
• require a lift-equipped bus when none are available on that particular route, and
• have specific impairment-related conditions that make it impossible to travel to and from a bus stop.

The access-a-Ride service operates daily, providing transportation to ADA-eligible persons who have origin and destination points within three-fourths mile of any regular non-commuter bus route, and who with to travel during the same times the route operates.

Traveling by bus at night?

If you’re a passenger with a disability and/or a senior passenger who travels by bus at night, you’ll enjoy an added sense of security with the Night Stop program. For details, see Night Stop bus service.
