Transportation Resources

Did you know that RTD is FREE for the month of April? If you are an essential employee and in need of transportation, please note that all RTD services are fare-less as of now. Continue to practice mask-wearing and all proper health precautions.

Internet Resources

  • We know internet access is difficult during this time. COMCAST is offering free service to those that qualify (if you have previous debt, please still apply. They are allowing many of those with unpaid debt to sign up).
  • Xfinity is turning on all hotspots – if you are near an xfinity hotspot, you will be able to log on for free – select “xfinitywifi”
