Ride Provide's A-Line Shuttle Service Between Arvada and Denver International Airport
In cooperation with and funding provided by the Regional Transportation District (RTD), the City of Arvada, the Arvada Urban Renewal Authority (AURA), and the Arvada Economic Development Authority (AEDA), Ride Provide Inc. has developed a direct shuttle service between the Olde Town Arvada Park-n-Ride and DIA.
Please note that the A-Line is not affected by the May 2 termination of RTD’s Olde Town call-n-Ride; that is a separate service.
Where do I go for the shuttle?
The A-Line will pick up and drop off passengers at the RTD Olde Town Arvada Park-n-Ride located on the Wadsworth Bypass and West 56th Avenue. The main pick up point at DIA is located on Level 5 East at door 505 at the third island. This is the same level as baggage claim and door 505 is near the Frontier and Continental Airlines baggage claim area. The shuttle will also stop to pick up passengers on Level 5 West at door 512 at the third island, which is near the baggage claim for United before departing DIA for Arvada.
What is the cost for the A-Line Shuttle?
The cost per one-way trip is $12 per passenger, with a senior (62+) and student (with a valid student ID) price of $9. Round trip fares are $20 and $16 respectively. Children under 6 ride free. Tickets can be purchased from the shuttle driver with cash at the time of the trip. Exact change is preferred, as shuttle drivers may not carry change. Monthly passes are also available at a cost of $105 and ten trip ticket books are available for $90. Monthly passes and ten packs are available for purchase at the Arvada City Hall cashier, located on the first floor of City Hall at 8101 Ralston Road, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. till 5 p.m. Monthly passes may be purchased with cash or check, and Ride Provide will also honor commuter check vouchers from employers. The A-Line shuttle is not a part of the RTD SkyRide System. SkyRide tickets or passes, such as those that can be purchased in advance at area grocery stores, are not valid for A-Line travel.
