Get Ready to Hop on Board!

During the months of June, July and August of 2023, public transit agencies around the state of Colorado will join together to take part in the Zero Fare for Better Air initiative.

This collaborative, statewide initiative, made possible by Colorado Senate Bill 22-180, in partnership with the Colorado Energy Office, is designed to reduce ground level ozone by increasing use of public transit. Transit riders will benefit from the program as many transit agencies, including RTD, allow riders to take transit this summer, during Colorado’s high ozone season.

We hope you enjoy taking advantage of Zero Fare Summer to try transit to get to work, school, a Doctor’s appointment, or a weekend exploring Colorado.

Transit riding friends will have the ability to participate throughout the state by signing up and tracking their rides on the web-based application that tracks how many rides they completed, CO2 emissions saved, and gas money saved this summer! Prizes will be awarded!
