Why should students and staff take the new Light Rail?

Just some of the reasons:

  • Save money on gas
  • No downtown Denver parking fees
  • No downtown Denver parking hassles
  • Read while you ride

RTD's West Rail Line opens on April 26 and it's time to celebrate.

(This info was sent by RTD and therefore all references of action apply to RTD, not RRCC.)


Join us for two days of food, fun, festivities, and free rides as we commemorate this historic achievement with friends, family, and the community.
