RTD honors veterans in recognition of their contributions to public service
RTD extends its sincerest gratitude to the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces. This Veterans Day, the agency thanks veterans for their service, sacrifice, and continued contributions to their communities.
Veterans bring valuable experience, skills, and leadership to RTD, where they support crucial day-to-day operations spanning bus and rail, maintenance, customer care, as well as public safety. These employees’ commitment to service makes the agency stronger and helps deliver reliable, accessible transportation across the Denver metro area.
RTD also offers career opportunities for veterans interested in continuing their service to the public. The agency provides resources that support the transition to civilian employment, including benefits such as paid in-house training, competitive compensation, retirement savings, health benefits, and mentorship. Veterans are also able to connect with designated recruiters for guidance throughout the hiring process.
Those interested in safety careers may also explore opportunities with RTD Transit Police, where military experience can provide a valuable foundation for serving and protecting the public. Those interested can explore a range of veteran career opportunities on RTD’s Military Careers website.
