RTD consolidates eight southeast FlexRide service areas as DTC FlexRide
DENVER (Feb. 9, 2026) –– The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is offering FlexRide service as a single service area operating on both sides of I-25 between Belleview and Sky Ridge stations.
Dubbed the DTC FlexRide as of Feb. 1, the service area joins eight former service areas – Arapahoe, Belleview, Dry Creek, Meridian, Orchard, Lone Tree, South Inverness, and North Inverness – to simplify the transit experience for RTD customers and make it easier to connect to locations along the southeast corridor without being restricted by prior service boundaries.
FlexRide is a shared bus service that operates as a first- and last-mile transit solution within 16 service areas in the agency’s district. The service provides a convenient way for customers to connect to RTD Park-n-Rides, stations, work, medical and shopping centers, business parks, and other local destinations.
Reservations are required for FlexRide service and can be made in as little as 10 minutes prior to pick up using a desktop computer or mobile device. The cost of service is the same as an RTD fare and special discounts can be applied. Hours of operation are 5:30 a.m.-7 p.m. Monday-Friday.
