ATTENTION
On January 25, 2009, RTD will discontinue Interregional Commuter Service Routes 157 and 162.
RTD is facing a serious reduction in available revenues due to the State transit funding cuts. As a result, RTD staff reviewed ridership and service effectiveness on all routes and services to identify cost saving opportunities. RTD identified these two routes for cancellation based on ridership, available parallel capacity, and funding resources. RTD is providing service alternatives for each of these routes to minimize the affect on our passengers. RTD provides the following alternatives for the existing passengers of each route.
For Route 162 passengers:
1. RTD will adjust the stops on Route 172 to pick up passengers in Tracy heading to Sunnyvale. RTD will reassign all passengers to route 172 at their existing stops. The arrival and pickup times in Sunnyvale remain the same. The revised Route 172 schedule is as follows:
Priority seating assignments on Route 172 are subject to a lottery draw in January. RTD will coordinate the drawing procedure with Lockheed Martin to facilitate a smooth transition.
RTD staff appreciates your understanding during this transition. If these revised services do not accommodate your work schedule and you will need a revised January fare, or if you have any questions regarding these changes, please contact Roberta Paoletti at (209) 948-5566 x625.
For more information e-mail or call 888-802-9675. To make a seat reservation, call our Customer Information Supervisor at (209) 948-5566, ext. 625.
