Summer Light Rail Changes

RTD is proud to bring exciting changes to the metro area’s transit system this summer. RTD will be opening a new light rail station at Denver Union Station on August 15, and a new Auraria West Campus Station in the Fall. To accomplish this, and moving one step closer to completing the FasTracks Program, we will have Light Rail closures from July 23 – August 14 in the downtown area. To lessen the impact to RTD passengers, we will be doing one consolidated closure. Attached, you will find a fact sheet that goes into more detail about the closures and the alternative bus shuttle service that will be available in lieu of light rail service.


During this time, we ask that all of our community partners help us spread the word, so everyone stays informed. Weekly updates will be provided via email and on our website at www.rtd-denver.com , as well as maps that show the temporary shuttle service during the closures. Attached to this email, you will also find a fact sheet explaining in greater detail the closures and subsequent bus shuttle service and a flyer to use to communicate with your customers or employees. We greatly appreciate everyone’s patience during this exciting time as RTD moves forward to provide you a world class transportation system. Progress is never easy but the end result is always appreciated, and we will all look forward to the results on August 15.
