Proposed January 2026 Service Changes

RTD is proposing Service Changes to take effect on January 4, 2026.

These proposed changes are designed to reflect seasonal ridership trends and support RTD’s System Optimization Plan, aimed at improving reliability and enhancing the overall customer experience. They also take into account the temporary pause of Phase 3 of the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project (Colfax Avenue Alignment Reconstruction), which is expected to resume in 2026 alongside Phase 2.

We value your input, so please share your feedback through the online survey or other available channels.

Proposed January 2026 Service Changes

In addition to the routes listed below, there are proposed changes to the following routes:

0B - South Broadway - Schedule Timing

Proposed Changes

Minor changes to weekday, Saturday and Sunday/Holiday schedules.

Reason

Improve on-time performance, service reliability, and connections between Routes 0 and 0B.

Survey Link

Platte Valley FlexRide - Service Reduction

Proposed Change

It is proposed to discontinue operations of the Platte Valley FlexRide service.

Reason

Due to continued low customer utilization—averaging fewer than 0.6 customers per hour or 8 customers per day—the Platte Valley FlexRide is recommended for discontinuation. The service, introduced in August 2019 to replace the underperforming Route 33 (Platte Valley), has not achieved sufficient ridership. Alternative service is available through the Denver Connector West, which overlaps much of the FlexRide service area.
