RTD Call-n-Ride:

Another transportation option in Evergreen is the RTD Call-n-Ride. Service is provided within the boundaries of the Evergreen Metropolitan District, which is divided into two zones, Zone A – the area north of Stagecoach Blvd., and Zone B – the area to the south. Ride requests are scheduled by the driver of the zone from which the ride would be departing, and should be made a minimum of one hour in advance. Two bright green buses provide curb-to-curb rides for people of all ages who do not need personal assistance. Call-n-Ride meets the needs of those who want to commute to the Park-n-Rides, school, work, shopping and appointments, or other personal outings.

• Call-n-Ride information is available by calling 303-944-7451. Rides are scheduled by zone: 
  • Zone A (north of Stagecoach Blvd) is 303-944-7474
  • Zone B (south of Stagecoach Blvd.) is 303-944-5777.

Mountain Wheels:

Mountain Wheels provides the general public with a wide range of transportation options. Seniors and disabled persons are able to maintain their independence by not having to rely on others for transportation. Trip reasons include grocery and other shopping, medical and business appointments, personal and many others. Door-to-door service is available not only within our community, but outside the community as well, such as trips to the Denver area. Personal support and assistance are provided by the Mountain Wheels drivers to clients with disabilities and those with wheelchairs or walkers, as well as those with packages and groceries. We ask that rides be scheduled a minimum of two working days in advance.
