Information provided by: the DRCOG Area Agency on Aging

Access-a-Ride provides local bus transportation in the Denver metro area for people with disabilities. This program is intended for individuals who cannot access fixed-route bus and train system to maintain their freedom to travel around the metro area.

Trips can be scheduled within Adams, Arapahoe, Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas, and Jefferson counties in Colorado, as long as the starting point and destination are within 3/4 mile of RTD's Local fixed-route transit system. Some restrictions apply.

Access-a-Ride is available during the same days and hours as local bus service. Curbside and door-to-door service is offered, with driver assistance if requested, as well as subscriptions for passengers who make regular trips to the same destination.

To travel on Access-a-Ride, riders must meet one of the following criteria set forth by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (Section 37.123 (3)):

- Be unable to get to and from a bus stop or on and off a lift- equipped fixed-route bus by themselves.
- Have a disability that prohibits you from completing fixed-route bus independently.

All RTD vehicles are 100% accessible
