Starting June 13, the Regional Transport District-Denver (RTD) will lift vehicle capacity limits that have been in place throughout the pandemic, a move that aligns service levels with available staff resources, and helps RTD prepare for additional increases in ridership with summer events and more people returning to the office.

RTD continues to follow a federal order requiring that passengers wear a mask while riding buses and trains, agency officials said in a press release.

In addition, the RTD Accountability Committee has drafted a series of recommendations for agency improvements and wants public input. It is anticipated that the final report will be adopted in late June. To review the full list of recommendations and take the survey, click here.
