RTD wants your feedback to better provide services, tackles delay issues in Denver metro area
The Regional Transportation District, also known as RTD, is asking its riders how they can better provide services. This specifically involves bus and light rail services.
RTD is hosting multiple feedback meetings to hear from riders about their concerns and suggestions to improve the public transportation experience.
Tina Jaquez, Public Relations Manager for RTD, met up with CBS Colorado First Alert Traffic Tracker Brian Sherrod to discuss these proposed changes. Jaquez first wanted to address one of the biggest issues right now: delays in services. Jaquez tells CBS Colorado this has been a consistent issue for two weeks and it is due to maintenance. Jaquez is asking riders to be patient as they finish all the needed repairs.
"We know it has been really inconvenient for people and we really do apologize for that," Jaquez said. "We just ask people to be patient with us. Plan ahead for our other routes that you can look into."
The proposed changes include enhancing reliability, improving on-time performance, addressing seasonal adjustments and accommodating maintenance projects. Jaquez tells CBS Colorado they do three service changes a year.
Jaquez also tells CBS Colorado they are working to reinstate the 15 frequencies with light rails on H, E, and L lines. These have been suspended or reduced because of the Downtown Rail Reconstruction Project.
