Flatiron Flyer Ridership Challenge
Commuting Solutions is inviting people from the Denver metro area to take the RTD Flatiron Flyer to explore the areas between Denver and Boulder rather than driving an individual car. The goal of the challenge is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote public transit. Participants can log their trips on the Flatiron Flyer for a chance to win an Amazon gift card of $150! The challenge will last from now until June. Click here to learn more about the challenge and enroll.
RTD Systemwide Fare Study and Equity Analysis
RTD is examining their fare structure through a Systemwide Fare Study and Equity Analysis with the goals of increasing fare equity, affordability, and simplicity.
