RTD committee recommends $31M in service cuts, setting stage for intense debate over which lines to lose
RTD committees recommended $31M in service cuts through a 10% reduction in operations, including potential eliminations of popular routes like the 16th Street FreeRide and several rail lines. The proposal faces opposition from riders and advocates, with one committee urging no cuts and another advocating fiscal adjustments. RTD leaders emphasized exploring alternative funding solutions to avoid service disruptions.
