Transportation
Call
Dial 303.299.6000 with information on your nearest major cross streets and with the address or
cross streets of your destination. You must also know when you want to leave or arrive at your
destination. For example, “I would like leave from Evans and University and arrive at the Denver
Museum of Nature and Science, located at 2001 Colorado Boulevard, by 3 pm. Would you help
me plan this trip?” Write down the directions you are given—and ask questions about what you
do not understand. The staff at the RTD Information Line is very friendly and helpful. The
telephone help line is available from 6 am until 8pm on weekdays and from 9 am until 6 on
weekends.
Online
Visit www.rtd-denver.com , click on “Trip Planner” and put in the cross streets for your starting
point and the address of your destination. Enter your “Leave at” time or use the drop down
menu to select “Arrive at” and enter the time you want to arrive at your destination. After clicking
the “Submit” button, the system will generate an itinerary for your trip, showing you where to
catch a bus and/or light-rail line to reach your destination.
Final Note
For your safety, you should always tell someone where you are going and your expected return
time. This could be important in the case of an emergency, and could ensure your safety. Also,
be careful to plan ahead to prevent any unnecessary hiccups while travelling.
