Updates as of June 1st, 2020
RTD:
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will continue to suspend all bus and rail service into and out of downtown Denver through the end of the service day Monday in light of the ongoing protests in the downtown area.
RTD made this decision out of an abundance of caution to ensure the safety of its employees and riders due to the unpredictable and destructive nature of the protests.
- No bus or rail service will be provided to/from downtown Denver.
- Union Station and Civic Center Station remain closed.
Two dozen bus routes will be detoured around downtown. - On light rail:
The L line is not running
The H line is running to 10th/Osage Station
The C, E and W Lines are running to Empower Field at Mile High Station - Commuter rail lines will travel between the following stations:
University of Colorado A Line: Central Park and Denver International Airport
B Line: Westminster and 41st/Fox
G Line: Ward and 41st/Fox
RTD will continue to monitor and assess the situation tonight and tomorrow and determine when service in the downtown area will resume. That decision will be communicated using RTD’s rideralerts. RTD Transit Police will continue to work closely with the Denver Police Department and local authorities throughout the weekend.
RTD is operation on a special COVID-19 Service Plan.

RFTA will continue to limit bus capacity. RFTA urges employers to offer flexible work scheduling options whenever possible for their employees. This will also help to spread out rush hour passenger demand and minimize crowding on buses with restricted capacities.
All RFTA passengers are required to wear face coverings for the foreseeable future when using RFTA services. Scarves, bandannas, buffs or other non-medical coverings are acceptable. As well, all passengers must load buses through the rear door, unless needing wheel chair ramp assistance.
