The Regional Transportation District (RTD) wants to hear from you as the agency works on creating a long-term plan/vision through its initiative: Reimagine RTD.
As part of the on-going Reimagine RTD process, the agency has released a draft System Optimization Plan (SOP) for public review. The SOP provides a route-by-route guide for service growth between now and 2027. RTD developed the draft SOP to:
- Reverse/mitigate trends of ridership loss
- Improve service performance/efficiency
- Ensure fiscal sustainability
- Address changing travel market demands
- Remain competitive
- Improve service quality
The Reimagine RTD team is working with the RTD Board of Directors to finalize the SOP in early 2022. RTD is planning to formally adopt the SOP in March of 2022, with the understanding that full implementation may not be possible until 2027 due to financial constraints and workforce limitations. Implementation of the SOP will be integrated into RTD’s existing service change process, which includes community notification, public hearings and board approval before being finalized.
View the online mapping tool to see how trips may change and to let RTD know what you think. Feedback will be gathered until Feb. 9, 2022.
