Good news for G Line riders!

🚆 Good news, transit riders!

Starting June 7, trains on the G Line will start running at 15-minute intervals again. Our friends at RTD are making the change to better match demand and improve reliability during busy commuting times.

Trains will run every 15 minutes between 6am and 9pm Monday-Friday and 8am-6pm Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays. Bus Route 80, which runs between the Olde Town Hub and W. 80th Avenue on Wadsworth, then east on 80th, will also be reinstated on weekdays only.

📣 Stay informed in emergency situations!

Business owners: Remember that you can sign up for emergency, weather, and hazard alerts for your business location in addition to your home.

Jefferson County uses Lookout Alert, also known as Smart911, as the official emergency notification system of Jefferson County and all cities within it.

Adams County uses CodeRED for potential or active hazards to human life, property, and/or the environment.

More info:

Last summer, Jefferson County moved the mass emergency notification system to the Lookout Alert platform. To ensure you receive severe weather and other emergency notifications, all residents should register for LookoutAlert.
