Transit  

Riding the bus is a great solution for many commuters in our area. In addition to the cost savings and environmental benefits of riding transit, you will also feel the benefits of reduced stress as you spend your commute reading, relaxing or catching-up on work instead of driving.

Regional Transportation District (RTD) provides Local, Express and Regional bus and Light Rail service throughout the Denver metropolitan area.  

RTD operates Express and Regional bus routes along U.S. 36 five days a week and some Regional routes on weekends, too.  Buses make stops at the following park-n-Ride locations along the corridor:
