Debra Johnson Headshot 2023

Message from our General Manager and CEO

I recognize the value that a high-quality transportation system brings to its community and the region it serves. I, along with the dedicated employees of the Regional Transportation District, am committed to delivering service that both supports the needs of the agency’s customers, stakeholders, and community members and enhances the day-to-day lives of residents and visitors across the Denver metro region.

This plan details RTD’s aspirations and the steps for attaining goals; it articulates the organization’s vision for establishing a valuable partnership with the surrounding community, pursuing customer excellence, becoming a regional employer of choice, and achieving financial success.

I truly believe that this plan will elevate RTD to new heights through a focused pursuit of excellence.
