RTD Accountability Committee Survey
Last summer, the RTD Board in collaboration with Governor Polis and the transportation committee chairs of the Colorado General Assembly formed the RTD Accountability Committee. The purpose of the Committee is to provide an independent and objective analysis of RTD's operations and develop a set of recommendations for improvement to the operations and statutes related to RTD. The Committee is independent of RTD and hosted by the Denver Regional Council of Governments.
Prior to finalizing their recommendations, the Committee wants to hear your opinions on the draft recommendations. This 3-minute survey summarizes the core recommendations
Deadline June 15: The survey can be found here
