All RTD services will be free, including the airport buses, for the entire month of August to help reduce air pollution in a collaborative, statewide initiative designed to reduce ground-level ozone by increasing use of public transit.
No need to show your EcoPass and you can bring a friend or a bunch of friends and family on RTD’s buses and trains. Get to where you want to go by transit and not have to spending time searching for parking.

And don't forget there is new daily service (Mon-Fri) to/from Boulder, twice in the morning and twice in the afternoons. The service, rebranded as the “Lyons Flyer,” will replace the Y route, formerly operated by RTD.
