RTD could kill the free 16th Street shuttle and several rail lines under budget cut proposals
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is proposing budget cuts that could eliminate the 16th Street FreeRide shuttle and several rail lines, including the Free MetroRide and B Line to Westminster, to save up to $62 million. The cuts, which could reduce service by 5-20%, face opposition from Mayor Mike Johnston and transit advocates, with potential changes set for 2027 after public review.
