Light Rail Maintenance and Repairs

Maintenance and Repairs

Preventative maintenance and isolated track repairs are underway across RTD's light rail system. As repairs are made, speed restrictions will continue to be lifted. The resumption of normal train speeds is dependent on how quickly repairs are made to the isolated sections of track.

Speed Restrictions

10 mile-per-hour speed restrictions were first implemented in Zones 1 and 2 on June 4, 2024, and in Zones 3 and 4 on July 12, 2024. All temporary restrictions have been lifted.

Light Rail Inspections

RTD conducts regular inspections of its entire light rail system. The intent of inspections is to identify preventive maintenance that may need to be addressed in the near-term or future. This proactive approach allows the agency to ensure all rail assets are in a state of good repair.
