RTD bus operator training begins Monday on the 16th Street Mall between
Wazee and Curtis streets

 

Free MallRide service will continue its detour on 15th and 17th streets
between Union Station and Civic Center

 

DENVER (Sept. 13, 2024) -- The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will
begin training Free MallRide operators on Monday, Sept. 16, on the completed
portion of the 16th Street Mall between Wazee and Curtis streets. The
training will familiarize bus operators with the new center-running
transitway ahead of the bus service returning to a portion of the 16th
Street Mall in mid-October.

Operator training will take place 6 a.m.-2 p.m. through the end of
September, and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. for approximately two weeks in October. Signs
will be posted on the Free MallRide shuttles indicating that the vehicles
are training operators and not in service. Approximately four shuttles will
be operating in both directions each day between Wazee and Curtis streets.
Pedestrians are encouraged to be cautious and look both ways while crossing
the transitway.

RTD Free MallRide will continue to provide service to customers on 15th and
17th streets between, Union Station and Civic Center Station, while operator
training is underway.

In mid-October, the Free MallRide will begin operating on the 16th Street
Mall from Denver Union Station to Curtis Street, and on 15th and 17th
streets between Curtis Street and Civic Center Station. MallRide service is
anticipated to remain in this configuration from mid-October until the
project is completed in 2025.
