A-Line Airport Shuttle is Unaffected and still Operating -RTD Call-N-Ride Service to Be Cancelled

The Board of the Regional Transportation District (RTD) voted to cancel the Arvada Call-n-Ride service effective May 4, 2008. The Board’s decision was based upon the relatively small number of users, and the cost for the District to continue this service.

The Arvada Call-n-Ride service has been funded for three years by means of a Federal grant, which expired the first quarter of 2008. In order to continue the service, RTD would have needed to budget nearly $200,000 annually. Given that the number of passengers remained below RTD’s minimum standard of 3.0 passengers per hour, the Board made the difficult decision to discontinue the Arvada Call-n-Ride.
