Central Corridor Light Rail Line
System Overview
RTD light rail began revenue service on October 7, 1994. RTD's first light rail line, the Central Corridor, runs from
30th Avenue and Downing through the Five Points Business District and downtown Denver, by the Auraria campus
and then along railroad right-of-way to 1-25 & Broadway.
The light rail line is 5.3 miles long and in 1999, its last full year as a separate route, carried an average of 16,118
riders each weekday. A bus transfer station and park-n-Ride are located at 30th and Downing, Alameda, and 1-25 and
Broadway stations. At 1-25 & Broadway, passengers from 18 Express, Regional, and Local buses from the south
can transfer to the 0 local and Ltd buses or light rail. Local bus service along Broadway and Lincoln is frequent,
averaging 5 minutes in the peak and 15 minutes in the off-peak.
This light rail line was funded entirely by RTD -- no tax increase and no federal dollars were necessary. This line was
funded with an existing use tax, RTD's capital reserve, and bonds issued by the District.
There are three park-n-Rides on the Central Corridor light rail line. The 1-25 & Broadway park-n-Ride provides 830
parking spaces. Alameda park-n-Ride opened in August 1996 and has 287 spaces. The adjacent Broadway
Marketplace provides 221 spaces. The 30th and Downing park-n-Ride has 27 parking spaces.
In December 2004, the two light rail stations serving the Colorado Convention Center and DCPA at 14th/California
and 14th/Stout were combined into one station by the City and County of Denver in partnership with RTD as part
of the Colorado Convention Center expansion project. This move gives light rail patrons internal access to the
Convention Center.

Southwest Corridor Light Rail Line
Project Overview
In 1992, RTD began the Southwest Corridor Alternatives Analysis/Major Investment Study to evaluate possible alternatives for
rapid transit along South Santa Fe Drive between downtown Denver and the City of Littleton.
In March1994, the RTD Board of Directors selected light rail transit with a southern terminus at Mineral Avenue in the City of
Littleton as the preferred technology and alignment. In July 1994, the Metropolitan Planning Organization (the Denver Regional
Council of Governments - DRCOG), through the Senate Bill 208 process, ratified that recommendation.
In September 1994, RTD received permission from the Federal Transit Administration (FT A) to begin Preliminary Engineering
(PE) and the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Southwest Corridor Light Rail Project. The
Preliminary Engineering was completed in early 1996.
In September 1995, the RTD Board of Directors approved spending $3.9 million to complete the Final Design of the Southwest
Corridor Light Rail Project pending a Record of Decision (ROD) by the FT A . In January 1996, the final EIS was submitted to
FT A and the ROD was issued in March 1996.
On May 9, 1996, U.S. Secretary of Transportation, Federico Pefia, signed a $120 million Full Funding Grant Agreement
(FFGA), allowing RTD staff to begin Final Design. Final Design was completed by RTD's in-house design staff in
December 1997, saving $2.3 million compared to professional consultant proposal resulting in outstanding design and
praise from the Federal Review Team. To demonstrate multi-modal cooperation, the Federal Highway Administration
(through DRCOG and the Colorado Department of Transportation) provided flexible highway-to-transit funding in the
amount of $18 million. The FFGA was paid in full in 2001.
Southwest Light Rail Line groundbreaking occurred on January 21, 1997, and construction began with utility relocation.
The Southwest Light Rail Line opened to the public on July 14, 2000, with revenue service beginning on July 17, 2000.
. Ridership has exceeded the projected forecast of 8,400 riders per weekday and averaged 17,900 riders, in April 2002, at
the five stations---113 percent over projections. Total light rail system ridership was projected at 22,400 and reached a high
of 38,900 average weekday boardings in August 2002.
To meet ridership demands, RTD purchased 12 additional light rail vehicles which were delivered in 2002 and increased
service on the Southwest Corridor in conjunction with the opening of the Central Platte Valley light rail line in April 2002.

Project Overview
. Central Platte Valley (CPV) light rail extension connects with the Central Corridor near Colfax Avenue and runs
from that point to Union Station in Lower Downtown.
. Rail stations are in service at the Auraria West Campus; near Invesco Field at Mile High Stadium; at the Pepsi
Center/ Six Flags Elitch Gardens; and at the CPV terminus at Union Station in LoDo.
. The CPV extension serves all the major professional sports venues (football, hockey, basketball, and baseball)
in the region.
. In March 2000, the Federal Transit Administration issued a Finding of No Significant Impact, thereby approving
the CPV's Environmental Assessment.
. The CPV extension necessitated an expansion of the 16th Street Mall Shuttle service from Market Street Station
to Union Station to allow transfers between the light rail line and the shuttle. A partial extension to Wynkoop
Street opened in September 2001, with the full extension to Union Station becoming operational when the light
rail system opened.
. The CPV extension, newly designated as the "c" line, opened to the public on April 5, 2002, with revenue
service beginning April 7.
. Along with the "c" Line Grand Opening, a color coding system was introduced to differentiate Denver's light rail
lines. The new CPV extension became part of the "Orange" line, while the existing line through downtown was
named the "D" or "Green" line.
. The Central Platte Valley extension is a good example of a private-public partnership. The cost for completing
the CPV extension was covered by the following contributions:
Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG)
City and County of Denver
RTD
Private stakeholders - Cash
(Broncos, Rockies, Six Flags/Elitch Gardens, Lower Downtown, Auraria, Pepsi Center, and Trillium)

$19.25 million
$ 2.55 million
$46.40 million
Donated transit easements
Total project cost
$ 1.40 million
$ 47.80 million
. The CPV extension is the third consecutive light rail project RTD has completed on time and within budget.

(Southeast Corridor)
Project Overview
. The Southeast Corridor Light Rail Line will be 19 miles long. It will run along the west side of 1-25 from Broadway in
Denver to Lincoln Avenue in Douglas County, and in the median of 1-225 from 1-25 to Parker Road in Aurora,
connecting the two largest employment centers in the Denver region.
.In May 2001, the project was named the Transportation Expansion (T-REX) Project, and the Southeast Corridor
Constructors team, a joint venture of Kiewit Construction and Parsons Transportation Group, was selected as the
design-build contractor.
. The Transportation Expansion (T-REX) Project is a $1.67 billion highway expansion and light rail project directed by the
Colorado Department of Transportation and the Regional Transportation District. In addition to widening 1-25 and 1-225
in the southeast corridor of the Denver metro area and building a light rail transit line, T-REX will rebuild several bridges
and interchanges, improve drainage, enhance bicycle and pedestrian access, and provide transportation management
elements.
. In 1995, CDOT, RTD and the Denver Regional Council of Governments (DRCOG) began conducting a Major
Investment Study (MIS) in an effort to find the best solution to the ever-growing problem of congestion in the southeast
corridor. In 1998, CDOT, RTD, the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), and the Federal Highway Administration
(FHWA) joined forces to conduct an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS). The Record of Decision was issued in
March 2000.
. Of T-REX's total $1.67 billion budget, the light rail portion is $879 million, and the highway portion is $795 million.
T-REX is funded through voter-approved bond issues. In 1999, voters approved separate RTD and CDOT bond issues.
In November 2000, RTD also received a Full Funding Grant Agreement (FFGA) for $525 million from the FTA.
. On September 24, 2001, T -REX celebrated its groundbreaking, and construction began in early October.
. In 2002, work focused on the project design and highway expansion part of the project, including bridge demolition and
construction, interchange reconstruction, and drainage improvements. In 2003, light rail construction hit full speed with
track work beginning and light rail bridges being constructed. Work on the University parking structure reached
completion, and other park-n-Ride construction also progressed.
. In 2004, construction of the Elati Light Rail Maintenance Facility was completed and 11 of 13 light rail stations were
under construction. In December 2004, construction of the light rail segment from Broadway to Steele was completed,
and integrated testing of the various light rail systems in that segment began.
. Construction is expected to be complete in September, 2006. After two months of testing the light rail system, the
Southeast Corridor Light Rail is on track to open on November 17, 2006.
Light Rail System Characteristics
.19 miles of light rail, 15 miles along 1-25 from Broadway to Lincoln Avenue, and four miles along 1-225 to Parker Road.
.13light rail stations (Louisiana.Pearl; University; Colorado; Yale; South moor; Belleview; Orchard;
Arapahoe@Village Center; Dry Creek; County Line; Lincoln; Dayton; and Nine Mile).
. park-n-Rides at all stations except for the Louisiana .Pearl station, which will feature a neighborhood plaza built over the
Louisiana.Pearl Light Rail Station, nicknamed "The Louisiana Lid." The park-n-Rides will provide a total of 6,000
parking spaces along the southeast corridor.
. New light rail maintenance facility.
.34 new light rail vehicles.
. New communications and control system.
. Extensive bus feeder system to transport light rail riders to and from the stations.
. Trains from Lincoln Avenue to downtown Denver will arrive every 7.5 minutes during peak periods and every 15
minutes during off-peak periods.
. The art-n-Transit program will showcase a separate theme at each station with functional art, such as windscreen
benches, decorative ironwork, trash receptacles, and shelters.
Light Rail Estimated Ridership
. Year 2020 ridership--average weekday nearly 38,100.
