The Regional Transportation District has launched a new bus route running near the South Platte River to connect people in low-income neighborhoods with Denver’s arts and theater districts.

RTD bus and light rail lines through Denver's Civic Center were detoured or suspended Tuesday night because of planned protests downtown.

On June 30, the RTD received a $6.8 million grant from the California State Transportation Agency to fund two Bus Rapid transit routes along the Martin Luther King Jr. and Crosstown Miner corridors.
