RTD gets pushback over proposed cuts, including end of 16th Street FreeRide service

Residents and local advocates are up in arms over the Regional Transportation District's (RTD) plan to slash $31 million from its budget, which includes cutting up to 10% of its bus and light rail services and ending the popular 16th Street FreeRide service. This move comes as RTD grapples with financial pressures, but the proposed reductions have sparked significant community backlash. The potential changes highlight a broader debate about balancing budget constraints with maintaining essential public transit services in Denver.
