How to Park

Determine if Parking Fees Apply

Park-n-Ride fees largely depend on if your vehicle is registered to an address within the boundaries of the RTD service district. If your vehicle is registered within RTD Boundaries, it’s free to park at nearly all of RTD’s Park-n-Rides for up to 24 hours. If your vehicle is registered to an address outside the district, then you may need to pay for the first 24 hours of parking. Use our License Plate Lookup tool below, or the Lookup Your RTD District tool to confirm if your vehicle is registered to an address inside or outside the district.

For parking that extends beyond the first 24 hours, a $2.00 daily fee applies to vehicles registered within the district. If your vehicle is registered out of district, a $4.00 daily fee applies. You must pay before getting on the bus or train.

To find a Park-n-Ride closest to you, take a look at the Park-n-Ride map, or view a list of Park-n-Ride facilites.

Determine if You’re in or out of District

Fees vary for in and out of district passengers. Use the license plate lookup to see if your vehicle is registered
to an address in or out of RTD boundaries.

Pay for Parking

Pay Station

Once you’ve arrived at the Park-n-Ride or train station, find the blue canopy pay station near the bus stop or train platform. Your license plate number will be required. You may pay cash (exact change, please) or use VISA, Mastercard, Discover, or American Express. Customers may park for up to 30 days.

Mobile Payments

Mobile payment is available for daily and extended parking. When you pay with your mobile device you will need to provide your license plate number and the Park-n-Ride or station parking zone number. You can find the parking zone number posted on signs above the pay stations at each location.
