The Regional Transportation District will hold eight public meetings this month to answer questions and get public comments on proposed service changes scheduled to take effect in January.
Staff members will be on hand to explain the proposed changes and to answer questions. Officials say feedback gathered at the meetings will be summarized and given to the RTD board of directors at the October board meeting.
Service changes are made three times a year, based on updated ridership figures. The proposed service changes can be reviewed at RTD’s .
Service changes in bus routes on the west side of the metro area drew earlier this year. RTD officials said they needed to change or cut some bus routes to accommodate the opening of the West Rail Line in April. Some of the routes were reinstated after passengers protested.
