At a young age, children are taught the importance of kindness and compassion. A simple ‘thank you’ goes a long way. 

Almost daily, RTD gets asked about the cleaning of our buildings, buses and trains in light of the coronavirus.

Dear RTD Operators, 

Today, March 18, is Transit Driver Appreciation Day. Words cannot express our gratitude for all that you do to reliably deliver riders to their destinations every day and night, but we’ll try. 

RTD recently held an Innovation Fair to celebrate employees that have come up with new and better ways to get their jobs done. Several innovations were showcased that improve operations and the service we provide to our riders.

RTD’s Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) office within the agency’s Civil Rights Division partnered with Canine Partners of the Rockies (CaPR) to visit several bus divisions to demonstrate what a true, well-behaved service animal looks like.

RTD has added to its K-9 unit to enable more coverage of the agency’s morning and evening commute times. Meet Officer Corey Averill and Max. They join current RTD K-9 handler Amy Homyak and her charge, Thor. 

Did you know that RTD has had a K-9 unit for almost three years? It’s headed by Transit Police Sgt. and K-9 Handler Amy Homyak. Her charge is Thor, a 5-year-old English cream golden retriever. 

From their Twitter feeds to their leather-bound planners, individuals and institutions are taking the turn of the New Year as a good time to reflect, recalibrate, reimagine.

RTD bus and light rail operators do an amazing job transporting our passengers to their destinations, day in and day out. It’s a challenging job, but they do it well. And, our passengers appreciate it.
