Operative words

RTD's Board of Directors at its March 24 meeting approved reducing service 40 percent beginning April 19 in reaction to a severe ridership drop amid COVID-19 lockdowns, running buses every day on a Saturday and Regional schedule and light rail trains on a Sunday schedule.... The reduced service levels are planned to remain in effect through Sept. 20, the next planned service change.... RTD administrative buildings, including 1660 Blake St, are closed to all visitors.
