Metro-area school districts are lining up to support a sweeping overhaul of the Regional Transportation District pass program that will cut fares for students and low-income families.
A 25-member working group has spent the past year working out the details of the proposals which are being mulled by RTD officials. The recommendations call for low-income riders to get a 50 percent discount to ride, while customers ages 13 to 19 should receive a 70 percent cut at the fare box. Kids 12 and younger would ride free if accompanied by a fare-paying rider.
