  • I usually ride on the Rio Grande trail, How do I get from 23rd to 29th street?
    From the 23rd street intersection follow the clearly marked way finding and detour signs. The reroute will take you down Grand Ave. sidewalk to 29th street. Please see the map below.
  • Will RFTA have ADA Complementary Paratransit service for persons who have disabilities?
    Yes. It is a free service. Please call this number for more information (970) 384-4855.
  • Will there be any RFTA bus service delays?
    If there any delays at the RFTA 27th Street Station they will be posted on the the RFTA website. We recommend you also sign up for RFTA service alerts on https://www.rfta.com/
  • Can I cross over HWY 82 onto 27th Street as a pedestrian?
    We are now in Phase 3, which includes the underpass under 27th Street. Due to heavy construction equipment and the narrowing and redirection of traffic lanes, it is too dangerous for pedestrians to cross this section. We advise pedestrians to take an alternate route
  • I usually cross Highway 82/27th intersection to get to the 27th Street Transit station. Can I cross that intersection now?
    No. The 27th street intersection is closed. See image below for Rio Grande Detour Map.
