RTD Neighborhood Eco pass

We are trying to start a new Neighborhood ECO (NECO) pass area in the South Table Mesa neighborhood. We invite you to participate in this program. This is the same as a regional commuter pass which RTD sells for $1620 per person per year. The pass gives you the following benefits:

• Unlimited travel on all Local, Express, Regional, Call-n-Ride and Light Rail routes, including all routes to Denver and Longmont
• Unlimited travel on the Boulder's Community Transit Network (the Skip, Hop, Dash, etc.)
• Free travel on the Ski Bus (route N) to Eldora Mountain Resort
• Free travel on the Sky Ride bus to Denver International Airport, you will never need to pay for parking at DIA again!
• The only routes that are not included with the NECO pass program are special services like the Rockies Ride or Broncos Ride.

This program requires an average contribution of $50 per household in this area. If you feel that your usage warrants a higher contribution (regional/daily commuters) we would suggest a contribution of 25% of your normal annual cost. For example, during a typical year, John's household uses the bus system as follows:

• NECO pass areas are more desirable and increase property values
• having more public transportation users means less traffic in your neighborhood
• using public transportation is ecologically sound
• having the program available may make you more likely to try the excellent public transportation options available in this area
• it gives you access to free backup transportation if needed
• For more information about the Neighborhood ECO pass program in Boulder, please see this Go Boulder site.

If you would like to:

• find out if your house is in the South Table Mesa NECO pass area, or
• sign your house up to participate, or
• help as a coordinator for your block

please contact John
