I am pleased to announce that RTD has authorized a new three-year contract for our union-represented employees, that ensures employees are paid a market-based living wage. Better quality of life was at the center of our discussions. Learn more here https://t.co/uvh3K4hhWy

I could not be prouder of or more inspired by RTD’s employees. Employee Appreciation Day 2022

[RTD @RideRTD]

As an agency of dedicated individuals, unified in the pursuit of delivering excellence and value to those we serve, each employee represents the values we collectively hold: passion, respect, diversity, trustworthiness, collaboration and ownership. Today, we celebrate you.

The Northwest Rail Line Peak Service Study will provide RTD with public input and 2022 data that will enable the agency and interested parties to utilize a common set of facts in determining how best to serve the northern suburbs within the District.

Today marks the beginning of Black History Month. Let’s be reminded that Black history is American history, and Black innovators have helped transform transportation as we know it.

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

In a year of triumphs, challenges, and opportunities, we send you best wishes for a wonderful holiday season and an exceptional New Year. We remain grateful for your unwavering support as we continue to make lives better through connections. https://t.co/nnDPIb3Nrg

66 years ago, Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat, violating Alabama law. Her arrest led to a Supreme Court decision banning segregation on public transportation. She sat so we all could come together. Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging matter.#TransitEquity #RosaParks

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

It is my privilege today to give thanks to those brave service members who work among us at RTD, as well as all who have served in defense of this nation. We are fortunate, as are our customers, for the many service members who contribute to the agency’s successes every day.

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

RTD strives to be a strong community partner, providing value to customers and the Denver metro region while sustaining planet Earth. With that in mind, we have already begun planning efforts to implement “Spare the Air” days for the 2022 ozone season.

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

RTD is fortunate to have a cadre of dedicated individuals (as well as canines) who are committed to ensure the well-being of our fellow employees, customers and the public in general. Happy National First Responders’ Day to the RTD Transit Police Team!

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

Customer excellence is a priority in RTD’s newly adopted Strategic Plan. We strive to consistently deliver high-quality customer service, and we do this through feedback – from you. Please attend a virtual meeting next week to voice your thoughts about the January service change.

Getting back to the office? Take the train to avoid a traffic gridlock. We'll get you there! #TakeATrip

[Debra Johnson @RTDLadyBoss]

RTD has supported the Transportation & Construction Girl initiative since its beginning because we believe in diversity of thought, people and experience – and that includes more women. Meet our team today at the Jeffco Fairgrounds to learn more about a career in transit.
