Transit Assistance Grant Program

The Transit Assistance Grant Program is designed to help organizations serving clients with immediate transit needs. RTD has set aside $1 million for this program, which will provide grants of up to $50,000 per calendar year in RTD fares for qualified nonprofit and governmental community/social service organizations. The distributed grants will be in the form of standard paper 10-Ride Ticket books at no cost to grant recipients. The grant recipients must distribute the tickets to their clients or constituents for free.

The application period for calendar year 2024 will be open from January 16, 2024年至2月29日, 2024. A grant program selection panel, 由RTD人员组成, will determine grant recipients based on clear and transparent evaluation criteria.
