The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will hold an hourlong telephone town hall session starting at 7 p.m. on July 12 to discuss the current fare review and provide information on the completed pass program study.

Those who join in the telephone town hall session can learn details about the agency, its budget and options being evaluated for the proposed fare change. Participants will also hear about the Pass Program Study, conducted by a 25-member working group which recently completed a year-long review to provide recommended improvements to current pass programs and existing fare policy. This study's recommendations have been incorporated into some of the considerations for the current proposed fare change. RTD began a comprehensive fare study in 2018 to evaluate changes to fares that could be enacted as soon as 2019.

About 100,000 residents within the RTD district will be called at random through an automated system and invited to take part in the public telephone forum. The telephone town hall is part of public information outreach being conducted along with a series of eight open house events, where RTD staff will be on hand to discuss the fare study, answer questions and gather feedback. 

The telephone town hall is scheduled as follows:

Thursday, July 12
7:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.
To participate call 877-229-8493 and enter code 112070
