Change
Schedule adjustments, modifying early morning and evening service frequencies as follows: 3 a.m. to 6 a.m.: 30-minute frequency 6:15 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.: 15-minute frequency 7:30 p.m. to end of service: 30-minute frequency (as compared to current schedule, which transitions to 30-minute frequency beginning with the 6:30 p.m. departure from Union Station and the 7:27 p.m. departure from Denver Airport). These changes to schedule timing will also result in the loss of (2) daily morning trips, the 5:45 a.m. eastbound and the 6:42 a.m. westbound.
Reason
Adjusting the span of 15-minute service better aligns frequency with customer demand by providing more frequent service later into the evening. Schedule changes also create more consistent departure times during periods of 30-minute service, making the schedule easier to understand while improving operational efficiency and better aligning service with contractual requirements.
Survey Results
Out of 152 respondents, 40% reported a positive impact from the change, 28% indicated it had no impact, and 32% perceived the change negatively.
Bus shuttles are available to replace bridge access to the station.
RTD will implement a temporary 30-minute service frequency on the A Line, seven days a week, to accommodate repairs by agency concessionaire operator Denver Transit Partners at the York/Josephine railroad crossing. The adjusted schedule begins with the noon departure from Denver Union Station on Tuesday, Sept. 29, and will remain in effect through Saturday, Oct. 10.
Bus shuttles will not be used during this extended service interruption to allow RTD customers to continue traveling between Union Station and Denver International Airport by rail, eliminating the need to alternate between rail and bus services. Trains will use a single track in some locations while construction at the York/Josephine crossing is underway.
