Starting Monday people will be able to hop on an RTD bus or train for free. The transit service and dozens of others are offering free rides for the entire month of August
“You hop on the bus, you hop off the bus. You don't need to provide a ticket or anything like that. I do encourage everybody to go online and check the schedules and service alerts prior to going to the bus stop just to make sure that your bus is running on a normal schedule,” said Brandon Figliolino, a senior specialist for community engagement with RTD.
“We're hoping that it encourages people to develop patterns. So they get used to taking the train or taking the bus and it gets developed into their routine,” Figliolino said. Transportation is a major source of the state’s air pollution. It ranks as one of the top two emitters. Environmental advocates applaud the move to offer free transit during one of the state’s highest ozone emitting months.
The standards, which the Environmental Protection Agency set for the state in 2015, called for Colorado to reduce ozone emissions to 70 parts per trillion by 2024. “This is a pivotal moment, we can't really afford another few years of not being proactive,” Katz said. “If we fail to act that costs us time, that could potentially cost us in terms of additional requirements that will be coming down on us.”
