RTD now offers complete trip planning from its home page

The Regional Transportation District (RTD)’s website home page now integrates its Next Ride Trip Planning tool to make planning travel via RTD services more convenient and accessible. Customers can visit 57it.imomoew.com, enter an origin and destination in the “Plan a Trip” tool, and click to view trip itineraries on the Next Ride application. Customers can plan routes based on their desired departure time, whether it be immediate or later, or based on the needed arrival time.

RTD made the updates for more user-friendly travel planning, especially for customers who may be unfamiliar with planning trips via RTD services.

Search by event names

Planning travel by concert name is another new feature that customers can use to plan trips. Customers can simply input the artist’s name as the destination point for concerts being held at Ball Arena, Bluebird Theater, Boulder Theater, Coors Field, Denver Botanic Gardens, Empower Field at Mile High, Fiddlers Green, Fillmore Auditorium, Folsom Field, Fox Theatre, Mission Ballroom, Ogden Theatre and Paramount Theatre. The Trip Planner will share itineraries to the venue from the customer’s starting point.

The concert and event planning feature is already live on RTD’s website. Customers are encouraged to sign up for Service Alerts to stay up to date on RTD services for smoother trip planning.

RTD has steadily updated its website andNext Ride application this year to make it more accessible and inclusive for customers, adding Vietnamese and Russian translation to its existing offering of Spanish and Chinese language options.
