RTD launching systemwide lower fares

Date:

Standard Monthly Pass $88; Discount Monthly Pass $27

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) implemented a new systemwide fare structure on Jan. 1. This is the first time the agency has lowered fares for all RTD services. The change is a result of a yearlong fare study and equity analysis aimed at creating a fare structure that is more equitable, affordable and simple. The updated fare structure was adopted by RTD’s Board of Directors in July.

RTD’s new fare structure includes:

Standard fare:

• $2.75 for a 3-Hour pass (no Airport)
• $5.50 for a Day Pass (no Airport)
• $10 for an Airport Day Pass (good for travel across the system including to/from the Airport)
• $88 for a Monthly Pass (includes Airport)

Discount fare:

• $1.35 for a 3-Hour Pass
• $2.70 for a Day Pass
• $27 for a Monthly Pass
• All Discount fare products include travel to/from the Airport

Customers who qualify for Discount fare are seniors 65 and older, individuals with disabilities, Medicare recipients and individuals enrolled in LiVE, RTD’s income-based fare discount program

Access-a-Ride

• $4.50 for one-way standard fares
• The regional fare is being eliminated
• $19 for one-way to the Airport
• $27 for six-ride ticket books

In March, the 50 percent LiVE discount will become available to Access-a-Ride customers

LiVE program

• LiVE participants’ discounts increase to 50 percent

Customers can exchange 2020-2023 unused tickets at RTD sales outlets (up to 20 ticket books) or by mail through Jan. 31, 2024. Visit the RTD ticket exchange page for complete information (https://www.rtd-denver.com/fares-passes/).

Making connections easy

Customers can use RTD’s Trip Planner and Next Ride web apps to plan trips in advance and see bus locations in real time. To anonymously report safety and security concerns use the Transit Watch app .

RTD’s Customer Care division is available 6 a.m.-8 p.m. Monday – Saturday, and 9 a.m.-6 p.m. on Sundays and holidays at 303.299.6000.
