Posted on 2nd August 2024 at 16:19
The Denver Regional Transportation District (RTD) has decided to continue its Zero Fare for Youth program and to transform it into a permanent fare change for the agency.
The one year pikot originally launched on Seotember 1 2023 with the aim to provide affordable, equitable and simplistic transit options for youth. Denver RTD received positive feedback from many schools regarding its impact in reducing truancy as well as directly benefitting youth organisations across the entire Denver Metro area.
Denver RTD General Manager and CEO Debra A. Johnson said, 'Zero Fare For Youth is helping RTD's youngest customers understand how their new habits are aiding air quality in their communities and supporting their freedom to explore and gain independence.'
