On January 1, 2009, RTD is raising fares. Due to this increase and the high demand for TRIP passes, the TRIP program will reduce its rate on regular monthly transit passes from a 50% subsidy to a 35% subsidy. Transit passes include access to RTD light rail, bus, and call-n-Ride services. The fare for a local monthly pass through RTD will be $70; TRIP will offer the local passes for $45.50. The fare for an express monthly pass through RTD will be $128; TRIP will offer express passes for $83.20. Finally, the fare for a regional monthly pass through RTD will be $164; TRIP will offer regional passes for $106.60.
TRIP is the result of the South I-25 Urban Corridor Transportation Management Association’s efforts. This group is a coalition of local governments including the City of Lone Tree, City of Greenwood Village, City of Centennial, Arapahoe County, Douglas County, the Southeast Public Improvement Metropolitan District (SPIMD), and the business community represented by the Southeast Business Partnership (SEBP). TRIP passes are available to eligible employees working in the South I-25 Urban Corridor.
