Union Station Redevelopment

The purpose of this project is to transform Denver Union Station into a multimodal transportation center servicing the Metro Denver Region and the entire State of Colorado. Enhancing Denver Union Station will bring together the many different means of transportation into one place and provide logical, safe and convenient transfers. Plans and studies since the early 1990s have identified Denver Union Station as the logical location to meet the need for an enhanced multimodal transportation center for a variety of transportation modes and services planned to converge in downtown Denver. To address this need, RTD, in conjunction with CCD, DRCOG, and CDOT, entered into an Intergovernmental Agreement in 2001 to purchase the Denver Union Station property and to prepare a Master Plan to guide redevelopment of Denver Union Station. Completed in September 2004, the Denver Union Station Master Plan established a Vision Plan which provides guidance for: 1) the incremental implementation of public transportation improvements needed to expand and establish Denver Union Station as the region’s multimodal transportation center; and 2) the anticipated incremental private redevelopment of the Denver Union Station property.
