RTD has proposed discontinuing Route 228 in September 2026. Route 228 is currently the only fixed-route neighborhood bus service operating within Superior, connecting residents to Downtown Superior, local neighborhoods and the U.S. 36 and McCaslin Park-n-Ride. It also provides regional connections to Flatirons Crossing Mall, Louisville and Lafayette.
Over the past year, the Town of Superior and RTD worked together to extend the route and add a direct connection to the Park-n-Ride. Discontinuing the route now, before those improvements have had time to build ridership, would eliminate Superior's only local bus service and reduce access to the regional transit network.
Superior residents contribute more than $4.5 million annually to RTD through the regional 1% sales tax. The Town is urging RTD to keep Route 228 in service and allow time for recent improvements to succeed.
Whether you ride Route 228 every day, use it occasionally or simply believe Superior should continue to have neighborhood bus service, your feedback can help inform RTD's decision. Share your experiences, explain why local transit matters and suggest ways RTD can improve service and grow ridership rather than eliminate Superior's only neighborhood bus route. Now is the time to act!
Email RTD Board members Tell RTD why Route 228 matters to you, your family or your ability to access jobs, schools and services. Board members will make the final decision.
