RTD had previously stated that its goal was to open the rail line during the first quarter of 2020.
The transit agency’s popular Mobile Tickets app launched in the fall of 2017, and RTD began selling transit tickets within the Uber app in May 2019.
Riders are using the Uber app to plan and book their transportation from home, to work, to appointments, and to the airport.
The project goal is to assess the reliability and availability of an AV shuttle service and its applicability to a transit application.
The University of Colorado A Line covered more than eight million miles between downtown Denver and Denver International Airport.
The collaboration aligns with the agency’s plan to provide more integrated mobility options.
Riders will now be able to find the closest RTD bus and rail connections, as well as Lyft Scooters and shared-rides using Nearby Transit.
FlexRide provides an option for commuters to make first- and last-mile connections to and from RTD transit stations.
This launch will help Uber users to more easily discover and access public transit services.
The EasyMile shuttle will be programmed to make designated stops along predetermined routes.
