RTD hosts telephone town halls to discuss projects, gather feedback

Events will be held in March and April for all 15 RTD districts

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) wants to keep the community informed about current operations and plans for improving local transportation infrastructure, as well as to gather feedback from the community. To do that, the agency is hosting a series of hourlong telephone town halls in March and April for each of the 15 districts in its service area.

Those who join in the telephone town hall sessions can learn the latest details about current bus and light rail service, RTD’s FasTracks transit expansion program and other projects that are underway. These interactive calls allow RTD board directors and staff to have a conversation with members of the communities the agency serves. Participants will have the opportunity to ask their elected board member questions and participate in live polls during the event by using their keypads to answer or to enter responses through the RTD website.

About 30,000 residents in each of the 15 RTD districts will be called at random through an automated system and invited to take part in the public telephone forum. Interested participants are encouraged to pre-register by visiting the RTD website to receive a call when the event starts.
