RTD to ring in new year with free rides

People can ride Denver's transit system, which includes bus and rail service, at no cost to celebrate Dec. 31 through Jan. 1.

DENVER — The Regional Transportation District (RTD) will again offer free bus and rail service on New Year's Eve.

Starting Sunday, Dec. 31, at 7 p.m. through Monday, Jan. 1, at 7 a.m., RTD fares will be free.

This is the 15th year the free ride service will be available on all RTD services including bus, MetroRide, MallRide, light rail and commuter rail. During last year’s New Year’s Eve Free Rides in Denver, over 48,000 individuals took advantage of complimentary transit to welcome the new year.

RTD and its partner Molson Coors ask New Year's Eve revelers use the free service to celebrate responsibly and safely.

In addition to Denver, Molson Coors’ New Year’s Eve Free Rides program will also be offered this year in Charlotte, Chicago, Dallas, Milwaukee, Phoenix and the Twin Cities.

“RTD’s continued partnership with Molson Coors once again allows revelers to use the entirety of the system at no cost on New Year’s Eve,” said General Manager and CEO Debra A. Johnson. “As you make plans for this evening, consider that RTD can serve as the designated driver. We will deliver you to and from your destination, allowing you to celebrate worry-free.”

“As we embrace the new year, Molson Coors remains committed to championing alcohol responsibility in the communities it serves. It’s an honor to contribute to the night’s festivities across Denver and welcome in 2024 together,” said Alison Hanrahan, community affairs manager, Molson Coors. “By partnering with RTD, our hope is to not only provide free rides, but to foster a sense of community and responsibility as we collectively celebrate this new chapter.”

RTD customers can plan trips and find route and schedule information at rtd-denver.com.
