Does RTD want public input?

This week RTD held three public meetings about schedule changes for August, schedule changes that include more service cuts than service improvements. Unfortunately, there was no sign of these meetings on the RTD homepage or on most buses, not even some of the buses that are having their schedules changed. There WAS a notice on the regional bus that I took today

Theoretically, in 2012 RTD is going to seek a sales tax increase to fund finish FasTracks. Here is the thing, everyone I know who actually staffed a table to pass the first FasTracks tax increase has either disappeared or is seriously pissed off, including the person who recruited all those volunteers and organized them.

Every public meeting is an opportunity for RTD to get more supporters. Another lost opportunity to improve transit was lost this week. So sad.
