Public Transportation Offers Seniors Convenient, Low-Cost Options

The Regional Transportation District’s (RTD’s) bus and light rail system provides wheelchair-accessible public transit at discounted fares for seniors. In addition, RTD offers the following services:

Call-n-Ride is a curb-to-curb transportation service available in select locations. By calling at least one hour in advance, you can be transported in a small bus that is easy to board and wheelchair accessible.

SeniorRide provides bus service for groups of 10 or more to cultural, educational and entertainment events. Monthly activities are scheduled by RTD. Passengers need to make reservations in advance.

Midday Shopper provides prearranged weekday trips to area shopping centers, with Saturday Shopper offering service to any preferred shopping destination when reserved five days in advance.

Access-a-Ride is a service for those who are unable to ride, board or exit a regular accessible fixed-route bus and/or have a specific impairment-related condition that makes it impossible to travel to and from a bus stop.

Discount one-way Local cash fares for all RTD regular bus and light services are 85¢. For more information, log on to RTD-Denver.com or call RTD’s Telephone Information Center at 303-299-6000 (TDD 303-299-6089).
