Are you interested in learning more about how RTD operates?

There are five vacancies on the RTD Citizens Advisory Committee. This was supposed to be a way for citizens in the Denver area to make sure that the FasTracks money was spent in accordance with voters interests. That has not happened, but the committee meetings are a good way to find out what is happening with RTD, especially with the new rail lines. This can be useful it can be hard to get answers to certain questions.

Applications can be submitted to Lessly.Leon@rtd-denver.com or mailed to RTD FasTracks, c/o Leesly Leon, 1560 Broadway, Suite 700, Denver, CO 80202. Applications should include a brief statement of interest, qualifications for advising RTD on its actions, and a resume and are due by March 31, 2016.

Preference will be given to people who demonstrated interest in transit, are committed to the current power structure, and live in a district with no current rep or belong to a demographic group that is underrepresented.

Meetings are held quarterly. The next meeting should be held in the middle of March, but no date has been announced yet.
