EtherElk+FollowRTD fare hike shakes up Denver’s Access-on-DemandStarting soon, Denver’s disabled and senior residents who count on RTD’s Access-on-Demand rides will see a noticeable fare increase.

While RTD says these changes are needed to keep the program running, many riders worry it’ll make daily life—like getting to work or medical appointments—much tougher.
