WE’RE ACCESSIBLE!

We set our sights on July 1 for increased accessibility. We've beat our goal by nearly a month. During peak hours 50 percent of all Denver-area local service is now equipped with wheelchair lifts. Nearly 100 percent of off-peak local service is now accessible. Please check your schedule for times of lift-equipped buses. Trips will be marked with the wheelchair symbol. If you need special assistance in learning how to use
the lift, just give us a call at 628-9000, extension 2118.

We are pleased to be able to accommodate our handicapped patrons with expanded service nearly one month ahead of schedule!
