Late last month, Denver’s Regional Transportation District launched the much-anticipated A Line, connecting the Denver International Airport to the Denver Union Station in downtown Denver.

“World-class meeting and convention destinations offer world-class public transportation for their attendees,” says Richard Scharf, president and CEO, Visit Denver. “Denver offers a stellar public transportation network, and this addition really helps to bring our city to the next level by connecting our airport directly to our compact, walkable downtown with convenience and value.”

Costing $9 a ride, the rail can travel at 79 MPH to cover the distance between downtown Denver and the airport, which is the sixth busiest in the United States and 19th busiest globally.

“The opening of the University of Colorado A Line is a historic milestone toward the completion of RTD’s FasTracks program and continues our success rate of opening major infrastructure projects,” says Dave Genova, general manager and CEO, RTD. “We continue to transform the region, and the University of Colorado A Line will connect the Denver metro area to the world.”
