Happy Birthday to RTD's Rail System!

On this day, October 7th 1994, RTD reintroduced Denver to rail transit, with trains running between 30th & Downing and I-25 & Broadway (now part of the D and L Lines).

This was just the beginning, and the story for rail is far from over!

Urge the #RTDBoard to vote NO on Paratransit Cuts next meeting (9/30).

Reject outright this shameful targeted fare increase, w/ #RTDMgmt singling out riders w/ disabilities for cuts while NOT giving the Board the info needed to fix the broken Access-a-Ride service.

Tonight GDT has united with the disabled community against the sham of an RTD Paratransit review which only focused on cuts to the popular Access-on-Demand service and not the problematic Access-a-Ride.

Here’s our letter to the Board:

Should transit information, not advertising / promotional messages be prioritized on #RTDDigitalSigns?

Would restrictions on the amount of advertising displayed make it easier for transit customers to get information?
