COVID-19 service reduction plan is in effect

RTD public transit, as critical infrastructure, continues to operate for essential travel. All passengers are required to wear face masks on RTD services. Capacity is limited to approximately 15 passengers per bus, 20 on larger buses, and 30 riders per rail car. If you are unable to maintain social distancing (6 foot spacing), do not board. Instead, wait for the next vehicle.
