Affordability of bus and light rail fares and passes has been identified as a significant barrier for lowincome communities reliant on transit. Out of these concerns, Mile High Connects launched and effort
in February 2014 to lift up the issue of affordability in the Regional Transportations District’s (RTD)
comprehensive study of their fare structure. Now a coalition of over 100 non-profit, public and private
partners, the Affordable Task Force has become a significant voice in the public input process.
However, this task force cannot do it alone. RTD has announced a schedule of FARE STUDY PUBLIC
HEARINGS for the next two months. It is important that your voice is heard. The census is that RTD will
be raising rates without seriously looking into alternatives to keep fares the same or eliminate them all
together.
Please attend one or more of the hearings listed below. Explain to the RTD committee, that keeping
fares low assists you in being as independent as possible
