The Regional Transportation District (RTD)is prepared to support an increase in expected ridership during the Rolling Stones concert on June 20 at Empower Field at Mile High. The concert venue’s close proximity to a number of bus stops and rail stations makes public transit a safe and ideal way to access the stadium.

Customers are encouraged to download RTD’s Next Ride smartphone application or use the trip planning tool and type “Rolling Stones” in the destination field. Starting Tuesday, June 18, RTD’s Trip Planner will show transit options in real time to the Rolling Stones concert at Empower Field. The navigation feature will list all available train and bus routes from the user’s current location to the concert venue.
