RTD looking to lower fares, attract more riders

Commerce City considers Broncos windfall

Council discusses how to spend $600,000 rebate from team’s 2022 sale

BY SCOTT TAYLOR STAYLOR@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

Commerce City will ask the city’s youth and possibly more how it should spend a $613,462 windfall from the 2022 sale of the Denver Broncos.

Councilors heard a report from city sta about how to spend the distribution from the Metropolitan Football Stadium District at their Feb. 27 meeting.

RTD is in the process of lowering and simplifying costs, with new, lower fares a possibility by the rst quarter of 2024 and if approved by the board.

It came out of their Fare Study and Equity Analysis the RTD Board reviewed and released to the public on Feb. 14

the airport fare would be $10, under a modi ed version of that plan.

“In April, RTD sta will ask the Board to release the draft recommended fare structure, policies and programs and draft fare equity analysis to the public. roughout the month of May, members of the public will be able to attend fare study information sessions and provide comments on the proposal,” Figliolino wrote in an email.

“...transit trends and data are in uenced by seasonal factors, such as vacations and the resumption of the school year, in addition to persisting pandemic impacts and large scheduled events.” the report reads.

e Metropolitan Football Stadium District announced in October that it would distribute more than $41 million back to the cities, towns and counties that paid a Mile High Stadium-supporting sales tax through 2011.

A long line of cars outside the city of Brighton’s rapid testing site at Riverdale Regional Park. The site has had to close early many days in recent weeks due to high demand. Adams County’s 14-day test positivity rate was 15.9 percent, as of Nov. 17, according to Tri-County Health Department. Brighton and Commerce City’s test positivity rates were both higher than 13 percent. Forty- ve people in Brighton and 29 in Commerce City have died from COVID-19 related health issues. To limit the spread of COVID-19, at least 15 counties moved to tighter restrictions that prohibits indoor and personal gatherings.

“...customers expressed a strong preference for simplifying the existing fare structure. e design was also modi ed to include lower Local fares in response to customer feedback and to align with equity goals,” a news release from RTD reads.

According to Brandon Figliolino, a spokesperson for RTD, the Board of Directors is looking at a plan to combine local and regional fares, and lower the airport fare. A threehour pass would cost $2.75, a day pass $5.50 a monthly pass $88 and

It may be one way to get more riders. RTD saw an increase in ridership during its Zero Fare for Better Air period in August 2022, when services were free. According to a nal report on the program, overall ridership increased by 22% compared from July 2022 to August 2022, and average weekday daily ridership increased by 19.9% in August compared to July.  e report also acknowledges the increase can’t only be attributed to the free rides.

State Representatives Jennifer Bacon and Stephanie Vigil and State Senator Faith Winter introduced a bill this year that will allow that same grant to be used for any month that a transit agency designates as its “ozone season.”

Additionally, even with higher costs of driving, data provided by RTD shows that gas prices do not change ridership.

Laurie Hu , a spokesperson for RTD, wrote in an email that many factors a ect ridership, such as seasonality, weather, service levels and the opening of new lines.

As Denver metro counties continue to inch closer to local stay-at-home orders under Colorado’s system of coronavirusrelated restrictions, the state announced a new level of rules that prohibits indoor dining and personal gatherings — a change that applies to the majority of the Denver metro area and many counties in other regions.

She noted an increase in ridership in 2008 coincided with higher gas

Commerce City, which levied the tax along with a number of other Front Range communities, received $613,462 as a part of that agreement. According to the District’s lease agreement, that money must go towards youth activity programs.

kids, a trailer to carry equipment for outdoor sports, replace the department’s portable pitching mounds or balance beams. A portion could also be used to offer equipment grants for local youth sports associations, help fund equipment at Commerce City schools and purchase equipment for the city’s First Tee/Junior Golf program.

Brighton councilors agreed to use part of their share to improve local parks and purchase equipment for 27J schools located in Brighton.

RIDERS

Councilor Jennifer AllenThomas suggested talking to the city’s Youth Advisory Council to finad out what they want and Councilor Renee Chacon suggested looking beyond just sports.

Councilor Susan Noble agreed with both.

“I’m wondering if we should reach out more broadly and ask our community how they want this $600,000 windfall to be used,” Noble said. “It really is a large sum of money, which is really terrific, but what is the best way to use this money that will benefit the most youth in Commerce City. That includes those who don’t do sports but instead their time to arts and culture.”

prices. However, ridership remained the same in 2014 when gas prices fell.

“RTD has been unable to attribute a direct correlation between gas prices and ridership (but) has seen just the opposite in some cases. On a longer-term basis, gas prices have risen but overall ridership for transit agencies has trended downward,” she wrote.

One strong correlation they found is employment rates: as unemployment rises, ridership goes down, and vice versa.

Getting more riders, and money

If people live near transit and it’s accessible, they’re more likely to take it. According to Brian Welch, RTD’s acting assistant general manager of planning, the pandemic disproportionately impacted the use of public transportation.

“If you look at air travel, vehicle miles traveled, freight, even I think ocean cruises, almost everybody has gotten back to where they were before the global pandemic. Public transportation remains one of the outliers, so we’re still feeling the effects of this disruption,” he said.

One of those reasons is due to teleworking. Not as many people are taking long trips to work. Even before the pandemic, increases in ridership weren’t proportional to increases in population.

“If we have all these people moving into the Denver Metro area, ostensibly we’ve got people moving in who don’t want to drive,” he said. “We don’t seem to be attracting those people as frequently as we’d like to.”

For public transportation to be attractive, people need incentives to take it.

Welch said expensive parking charges, congestion, safety and competitive travel times up the value. Even so, there are people who won’t do it — they love their car, Welch said.

“In North America, in the places where we have for 50, 75 years made it really attractive to drive, that makes transit tougher, to provide a value proposition and a good alternative for people,” he said.

To make transit an attractive option, it needs to be there and needs to be of quality, safe and frequent.

e price of transit is inelastic regarding incremental increases.

“Doesn’t matter if it’s free, because it still doesn’t help them (if it’s not of value),” he said.

However, for those on the margin, high fares play a role.

“If you could get to the airport cheaper by driving and parking than you could by taking one of our airport services, then yeah, the price is an issue,” Welch said.

Connecting the suburbs

Welch said that circumferential transit – public transportation options that circle a downtown area, connecting the outlying areas –has not worked well in the United States. Hub and spoke-type networks, from the suburbs to downtown, attract people from concentration to concentration in the U.S.

“It generally takes you too long to get all the way to where you need to go,” he said.

He said it’s a real challenge for those living in suburbs trying to get to other suburbs, such as Westminster to Brighton or ornton to Lone Tree.

Most success for RTD has come from connecting Denver, the tech center and Boulder. Each contain services that attract people and virtually guarantee ridership: colleges, hospitals, o ce buildings and commercial centers.

ose inter-suburban connections may grow naturally if the suburbs continue to grow, b e ectively becoming hubs themselves, he said. But that does not answer the ageold question: how do we get people to ride transit?

RTD’s largest limitation is hiring employees, Welch said, and another will be funds. Welch said right now, RTD is in a good position with recent money coming from the federal government, such as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act.) In the future, it won’t be so smooth.

at’s because 20% of RTD’s operating budget comes from fares, which is typical for a transportation agency. What’s not typical is the rest comes mostly from the federal government and sales tax – with no revenue coming from the state government.

In 2021, RTD’s total revenue and grants and contributions were $1.17 billion. Of that, about 7% came from operating revenues, about 64% from

sales tax and about 26% from grant operating assistance.

RTD’s operating revenues also were cut in half from 2019 to 2021. In 2019, operating revenues came in at $160.9 million but were slashed to $82.5 million in 2020 and reduced again to $83.1 million in 2021.

State Senator Winter said RTD needs a more reliable source of funding moving into the future to continue the boost it received from 2022’s Zero Fare for Better Air days promotion.

“We need to build on that success, continue that success, and make that success permanent,” Winter said.

To receive funding from municipalities and the state, Welch said RTD is working on showing people it’s worth it, with a lot of focus on safety and security.

“How can we be ready for them so that they instantly come back on transit and don’t start driving again?” Welch said.

Jack Berger Jr. passed away in the early morning hours of February 28th, 2023 as the sun was rising on his beloved family farm. He was able to ful ll his wishes of coming home and being surrounded by family and friends that loved him in the days prior to his death. e Circle of Life is now complete as he was greeted in heaven by his loving Dad, Mom, two brothers and sister.

Jack was born on January 26, 1943 to Jack and Barbara (Hochnadel) Berger. He was the youngest of four children and lived on the family farm his entire life.

On November 6, 1965, he married the love of his life, Sandy Goetz. ey recently celebrated their 57th wedding anniversary. He would say the secret to a long and happy marriage was to be able to say with conviction “Yes, Dear” and “Your right, Dear”. He would say “Happy wife, Happy life”. And we were happy.

Jack attended Fort Lupton schools, graduating in 1961. He was active in school as Head Boy in his senior year and participated in choir, band, plays, football, basketball, baseball and other school clubs. He was chosen to play on the Colorado All Star Football team while in high school. He was awarded a Football scholarship to UNC. After nishing one year of schooling there, he came home to help on the family farm. He continued farming there until

January 26, 1943 - February 28, 2023

his death.

In 1965, Jack joined the Air National Guard and was active for six years before being Honorably Discharged. One of his fondest memories was going to Antigua and building radio and satellite towers.

Jack was also involved in church and community. He was a life long member of St. William Catholic Church and served as Lector, Usher, Choir Member and helped with the Fall Festival. He was a ird Degree Knight’s of Columbus member and belonged to this Catholic Men’s organization for over 55 years.

roughout his children’s school years, he proudly served on the Fort Lupton school board and was very involved with their school activities. He also served as a member on the Brantner Ditch Board for many years.

Farming was always one of his rst loves. During his years in farming, Jack received many awards, some being from growing sugar beets for Great Western Sugar and barley for Coors Brewing. He also grew corn and alfalfa and wheat. Another great accomplishment was when he and his Dad started raising Black Angus cattle. For Jack, Faith, Family, Friends and FARMING were his life.

When he had free time, he enjoyed playing cards, eating out and going for drives with his family. He loved the holidays - especially Christmas. But what he really enjoyed was a drive to his “home away from home”, Blackhawk.

Jack is survived by his loving wife, Sandy, his son Michael (Marilyn), his daughter Melissa (Bob) Torbet, Grandchildren Jack Torbet (Little Jack), Madison Casados (Angel Garcia) and Great Grandchildren, Armando and Giovanni.

Left to lovingly remember all the good times spent with their Uncle are his nieces and nephews, Barb, Pat, Lori, Susan, Scott, Mark, David, Bob, Cathy, Tricia, Je , Lisa, Jessica, Jacob, Alivia and Steven and their families. He will be remembered fondly by his brothers-inlaws Tom and Steven (Tracy) and sisters-in-laws Sharon and Jody (Eduardo).

He was preceded in death by his parents, Jack and Barbara, his brother, John, his brother and sister-in-law, Leo and Ruby, his sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Jack Markley, nephew, Jim Berger, Father-in-law and Mother-in-law, Ed and Agnes Goetz, brother-in-law, Dennis, brother-in-law and sister-in-law, Gerald (Butch) and Phyllis, and nephew, Rodney.

Jack lived a good and honorable life - he was loved and he will be missed.

Survive and advance for Eagle Ridge

BY STEVE SMITH SSMITH@COLORADOCOMMUNITYMEDIA.COM

DENVER – Some words came to the mind of Eagle Ridge Academy players and coaches on the oor of the Denver Coliseum March 3.

Words like “ragged,” “rugged” and “ugly.”

e other words that came to mind were the most important .. a win, regardless of what it looked like.

Eagle Ridge moved into the seminals of the state 4A boys basketball tournament by beating Pueblo Central 63-57. e win sets up a contest against 17th-seeed Holy Family at 12:45 p.m. ursday, March 9, at the Coliseum.

“ e rst half, we had 14 turnovers. e second half, we had ve,” ERA coach Jay Powell said. “We knew at the beginning they were going to play at a pace that was going to speed us up. We needed to calm down.”

“It was a fast-paced game,” said Peyton Torres, who scored nine points. “We needed to slow down a little bit. We got them out of their zone. We were able to throw good passes across the court, not lob passes. We had to throw hard. ey were extremely fast. We broke the press the correct way.”

“We shot like 35 percent in the rst quarter. It was ugly, yeah,” said Christian Seifert, who nished with 13 points. “We have to keep shooting. We have to defend. We have to do the

little things. e shots never started to fall, but we kept ourselves in it.”

e Wildcats made the semi nal round of the state tournament last year. eir top scorer was Xavier Davis, who poured in 26 points. Ozzy Vigil was next with eight.

Eagle Ridge advanced to the elite 8 of the state 3A tournament last year. is is the Warriors’ rst year in class 4A. eir top scorer was Hunter Hill. He scored 26 points despite missing some time in the fourth quarter because of a tailbone injury.

“I’m ne,” Hill said after the game. “ e win makes it feel amazing. We got to the basket. We knocked down our free throws at the end of the game. We just played as a team, and that’s always going to help us win.”

Another thing that helped the Warriors’ cause was converting those free throws. As Pueblo Central committed foul after foul to extend the game, the Wildcats were making 3-pointers – one from Ozzy Vigi and two from Xavier Davis. e rally cut a 10-point Warriors’ lead to four points in the span of a minute. ERA made ve of eight from the free-throw line in the last minutes, and Peyton Torres sealed the outcome with a layup o a turnover.

“We knocked down free throws in crucial minutes,” Powell said. “We had high IQ plays at the end. Isaiah (sophomore Isaiah Garcia, who scored a key basket early in the fourth quarter) came in and helped us out. All the boys played strong, especially in the second half. We just had to settle down.”

Even though the win wasn’t aesthetically pleasing, Powell said it will help for the match against Holy Family.

“It helps show the boys they have to dig deep,” Powell said. “ ey have to ght. ey have to go out there and take it.”

“As long as we got the win, that’s all that matters,” Hill said.

“Our defense was really good,” Seifert said. “We’ve got some long guys, some athletic guys. If we lock in on defense, there’s no team that should be able to beat us.”
