 RTD Zero Fare Ridership Changes
During July and August of 2023, RTD offered zero fares across its entire system as part of the Zero Fare for Better Air initiative. Overall, it was positive, as most customers appreciated the zero-fare period. RTD estimates that the initiative contributed to a 12% increase in ridership over what would have been expected without zero fares due to normal seasonal variations in ridership. See the full report here. |

Learn about the Longmont Coffman Street Project!
The Coffman Street Mobility Improvements Project extends from 1st Avenue to 9th Avenue and will become a world-class and truly multi-modal corridor. The project includes robust public transit (local, regional and BRT buses), a near-term future transportation hub just south of 1st Avenue, strong bicycle connections to and from downtown, and better and wider space for pedestrians.
