According to Laurie Huff, a spokesperson for RTD, performance and rider retention came in as major factors to decide which routes were due for decreases.
That model only works for spe cific types of trips and it requires a car, which can be contradictory since those without cars need transit more than those with cars, and those eager to ride transit may not want a car.
BY BELEN WARD BWARD@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM
will stop seeing transit service — just less. The board is looking to cater to higher demand and areas with higher density.
“The U.S. Constitution has pro tected the rights of individuals in this country as well as provided a solid foundation for our represen tative form of government,” said Weld County Commissioner Lori Saine in a written statement. “This
is a document that plays a huge part in our daily lives as citizens of America, and we want to see how it has impacted our young people via thisThecontest.”WeldCounty middle and high school students can participate in the art contest to demonstrate their knowledge of the U.S. Constitution, which is vital to our daily lives in America.Thestudents can enter art in three categories:
Whitmore said that growing com mercial facilities like the Amazon warehouse in Thornton and St. An thony’s Hospital in Westminster can increase demand for transit routes that go directly to those places of work.Building density helps, too. To attract more transit, Monroe said municipalities can build transitoriented development.

“It’s focusing service on where the passengers use it the most, but still providing a coverage network across our large district,” Monroe said.
Some will see decreased ser vice. As examples, Route 99 - Fed eral Center/S. Kipling St. will have 60-minute weekday headways instead of 30 minutes. Route 66Arapahoe Rd. will scale back the evening service span by one hour.
Essay: Submit up to a 700-word essay on how the U.S. Constitu
services will be restored.
He pointed to the Arvada station where redevelopment is occurring for higher density and more land uses. Building train lines to sta tions only with parking lots isn’t good enough.
However, Williams said that people need to start getting out of their cars for the sake of climate change.“Ithink that every time you get in your car by yourself, you are killing your grandchildren. We have to ride transit,” she said.
SERVICE
During the pandemic, some lines went off the grid including Route LX2 - Longmont/Denver, Route GSGolden/Boulder, Route 122X - Wagon Rd. / Civic Center Express, Route 53 - N. Sheridan Blvd./Broomfield and Route 104 - W. 104th Ave. Those
Monroe explained that RTD’s service is based on the number of people that use it and maintaining a large coverage network can be difficult.TroyWhitmore, an RTD board director representing District K that includes Brighton and Thornton, said it’s a balancing act between providing overall coverage due to the taxes everyone pays and adher ing to “There’sdemand.fairness to make sure that we have adequacy for (lower economic demographics), but then there’s fairness for those out in the suburbs that may be in the same economic situation, and making sure they at least have commuter routes for their traveling,” he said. “But realizing that buses are not as full as they once were, especially in the commuter routes.”
were the areas where we saw the strongest ridership retention throughout the pandemic.”
More than 20 routes will be taken off the grid, but some will be re placed by others. For example, the 16L route will be removed but cov ered with Routes 16 and 16G. Route 128 will be gone but be covered by the Broomfield FlexRide.
VID, not as many people ride RTD anymore, for a variety of factors including working from home.
Poetry: Submit a poem of up to 400 words on why the U.S. Constitu tion and the Bill of Rights are criti cal, how has it been successful for this county and what is the purpose of the documents.
“It pains me to see light rail lines that are built to stations with only a parking lot and a quarter mile, half mile walk to the clos est (land uses,)” he said. “Actually having the development at those stations really encourages rider ship.”Hesaid it would be difficult to encourage those in single-family homes who live a few miles away from a transit corridor to use tran sit if they aren’t already doing so.
RTD’s Route 49 to Commerce City/ Colorado Blvd, Route 44 on 44th Ave, Route 35 - Hampden Ave, Route 31 N - N. Federal Blvd. and across Mississippi Avenue are all examples of the routes that will see increased service or more reliability.
Even with fixed routes coming off the network, RTD plans to institute FlexRides in some areas that are cheaper to operate, Monroe said. FlexRides allow residents to call and make appointments for rides in specific zones.

RTD has embraced the park-andride model for the last 40 years where residents can drive to these corridors and ride the bus or train for downtown Denver.
He said Denver, Aurora and the inner parts of Lakewood will see more frequent service than today, however, it may not be that much different than in 2019.
He said that it’s hard to justify a bus route with three to five people on it while making sure RTD is operating at maximum efficiency is important.RTDDirector Kate Williams of District A, which includes Denver and Cherry Creek, said the aver age transit network gets about 23% funding from their state. RTD gets 6%.“So, we can’t put buses without any riders,” she said. “Choices mat ter.”She points to the fact that after CO

“When routes were already performing relatively poorly prior to the pandemic and retention is poor and lagging other routes, those were candidates for reduced service or elimination.

Beyond ridership numbers, RTD is considering equity issues as well. Monroe said that low-income popu lations rely more on bus service for travel to work than other areas in the metro area. He said RTD refers to these populations as “equity populations.” RTD said those kinds of neighborhoods maintained their ridership numbers during the pan demic.“Zero car households and those areas all kind of correlate to each other anyway,” Monroe said. “Those
