"This is a great way to celebrate responsibly while attending the game and enjoying the festivities that happen for the home opener," Stuart Summers, Chief Communication and Engagement Officer for RTD. "This will also get you to your destination and home safely at the end of the day. Let us do the driving, and let us get you to where you need to go."
RTD says they will have 50 of their volunteers available before, during, and after the game. They are called impact team members. You can find them around Union Station, light rail platforms, commuter areas and the historic building. This group is trained to keep you safe.
