Alternatives Analysis and Environmental Planning for New Bus Facility (10% SBE Goal)

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) is seeking proposals from responsive and responsible firms to provide consulting services to conduct environmental planning work necessary to support the development of a new bus operations and maintenance facility.

A new facility has been identified in the agency’s long-range plans, including Reimagine RTD, completed in 2022, which analyzed RTD’s existing bus operations facilities and determined that RTD’s existing facilities were not adequate to meet the growing needs of the Denver region. The need for the facility was summarized in a July 29, 2025 board report (see “Bus Maintenance Facility Alternatives Analysis and National Environmental Policy Act Study” background report to the RTD Board of Directors). RTD’s Facilities and Fleet Transition Plan (FFTP), completed in 2024, also supported the need for a new bus maintenance facility and identified three RTD-owned properties as potential locations for this facility.
