during these everchanging times, we will continue to send periodic updates.
RTD is taking steps to ensure that social distancing is adhered to across
the system, including asking the public to use good judgment. The agency
has implemented several steps to encourage social distancing to keep
employees and passengers safe. Now RTD will work to minimize the number of
riders on its buses and trains.
- Limit capacity to approximately 15 passengers per bus and 20 on larger
buses
- If necessary, buses will bypass stops if social distancing limits are
reached
- Add additional buses on the most popular routes and stage buses in
those areas as available
- Limit capacity to approximately 30 on rail cars
RTD is following the provisions of the Guidelines for Public Transportation
Providers issued by the Colorado Department of Public Health and
Environment (CDPHE) to ensure the safety of employees and passengers. The
agency is now appealing to the public to be partners in safety.
*Safety is Up to All of Us*
Over the past few weeks, RTD has taken proactive measures to protect its
employees by providing personal protective equipment (PPE), including
masks, gloves, sanitizing wipes, and hand sanitizers as they become
available. PPE continues to be a challenge to obtain but the agency
continues to find creative means of acquiring supplies.
Rear-door boarding and exiting along with suspension of fare collection was
instituted to create another layer of social distance between operators and
riders and eliminate the need for contact with the farebox. Plastic chains
have been installed to rope off the area behind the operators and
wheelchair securement area to ensure social distancing and protect our
operators and customers from crowding.
Security officers are roving throughout the RTD system with some officers
at end-of-line stations to ensure passengers leave the vehicles at the end
of a route or line as required by the Customer Code of Conduct, in order to
prevent unsafe sheltering on RTD vehicles.
While all these measures have been put in place to improve safety, everyone
must do their part to ensure safety for employees and passengers.
Passengers should only take essential trips, wear masks while riding
transit, practice proper hand-washing hygiene and coughing and sneezing
etiquette, and don’t board a vehicle if it appears to be full.
RTD is also offering grocery delivery to Access-a-Ride customers as a food
delivery option that does not require some of the most high-risk people to
leave home.
