Zero Fare for Better Air begins Aug. 1
During the month of August, RTD will offer zero fares across the entire system
as part of a collaborative, statewide initiative designed to reduce
ground-level ozone by increasing use of public transit. The Zero Fare for
Better Air initiative is made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 22-180, the
ozone season transit grant program in partnership with the Colorado Energy
Office. Together, with internal and external partners, the goal is to reduce
ground-level ozone while promoting the benefits of and increasing the use of
public transit. Read more. |

Tip of the month
Working while experiencing fatigue can be dangerous. The National Safety
Council (NSC) estimates that 43% of workers are sleep-deprived, with night
shift workers being the most at-risk group to experience fatigue-related
injuries, followed by those who must work long shifts or have irregular shift
schedules. To avoid workplace fatigue, avoid exercise or big meals near
bedtime, avoid chemicals that can affect sleep such as caffeine, nicotine and
alcohol, set a routine and avoid stressful activities prior to bed.
