First as a transit rider advocate–and then as an RTD Board member elected in 2022–Director Ruscha has successfully challenged the status quo to bring real accountability to RTD. Their record of bold transit policy accomplishments have created tangible improvements in service, safety, equity, and accessibility. 

Recognizing that RTD still faces many challenges, Director Ruscha will keep fighting for fiscal transparency, expanding routes, improved reliability, better security, fixing paratransit services, and building the world-class transit system that the Denver metro area needs and deserves.
