Service animals may accompany disabled passengers.

Pursuant to Colorado law (§ 18-13-107.3), intentional misrepresentation of entitlement to a service animal is illegal.

1. A person commits intentional misrepresentation of entitlement to an assistance animal if:
   1. 为了获得州或联邦法律为残疾人士规定的任何权利或特权，作为合理的住房便利，该人故意歪曲其拥有的动物作为辅助动物的权利；
   2. 该人先前曾被书面或口头警告，故意谎报获得援助动物的权利是非法的；
   3. The person knows that:
      1. The animal is not an assistance animal with regard to that person; or
      2. The person does not have a disability.

A Service Animal is any guide dog, signal dog, 或其他经过单独训练为残疾人工作或执行任务的动物. Examples of such work or tasks include guiding people who are blind, alerting people who are deaf, pulling a wheelchair, alerting a person who is having a seizure, reminding a person with mental illness to take prescribed medications, calming a person with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) during an anxiety attack, or performing other duties.

The following are key points to consider when working with service animals:

• A service animal must be under the control of its handler at all times. This can be accomplished with the use of a leash or harness or through verbal command.
• A service animal has a calm demeanor, does not elicit violent or exhibit seriously disruptive behavior, and is house trained with a focus on its handler.
• Service animals are working animals, not pets. 狗接受训练的工作或任务必须与人的残疾直接相关.
• 安慰或情感支持和治疗动物不符合服务性动物的资格，因为它们不提供服务或任务.
• Most service animals are trained to be a service animal, 接受广泛的行为和技能训练，最终目标是帮助残疾人. Although there is no official certification, verification or licensing required to have a service animal, it often takes years before a service animal is ready for work.

RTD will remain consistent in adhering to all ADA and DOT regulations. Doing so best protects the rights of the community of people with disabilities.

Service animals may accompany a passenger with a disability. Please advise the bus operator if you need assistance finding a seat. 如果动物变得暴力，操作人员可能会拒绝登机或要求您将其移走, disruptive, poses a threat to other passengers or is not housebroken.

For safety reasons, please keep service animals clear of the aisle, sitting on the floor, under the seat or completely on their owner's lap. Service animals are not allowed to sit on seats.

Safety is RTD’s number one priority. We offer several different safety programs including Night Stop, Transit Watch, and Partners in Safety.

RTD offers a Night Stop service along all local RTD bus routes, except the downtown Denver area bordered by 11th Ave, Grant St, 23rd St, Speer Blvd, and I-25, due to the frequency of established stops and numerous police patrols. 这项服务是为任何要求在沿途任何安全地点下车的人提供的一项安全措施. Inform the bus driver you would like a night stop, at least one block in advance of your final destination.

The service is available mainly after the evening rush-hour from 7 p.m. to 5 a.m. 次日上午，只限无人陪伴（不包括儿童）的旅客下机. 司机将确定一个安全的下车地点，并要求您从前门下车.

Our Partners In Safety program is a collaborative effort between RTD employees, our passengers, 以及提高公众对问题的认识，并采取行动，促进我们车辆周围的安全环境.

If you see something say something. Transit Watch 是一个创新的项目，培训RTD运输警察和安全官员最新的执法技术和反恐措施. From increased patrols and electronic surveillance, to unannounced security sweeps of RTD vehicles and facilities, we take every precaution to ensure the security of our vehicles and passengers.

RTD has a snow removal crew that clears many of the busiest stops. However, with almost 10,000 bus stops, it is difficult for RTD to clear every stop. RTD is responsible for snow removal in certain areas but not in others, 因此，RTD与市政当局和企业合作，以确保责任方意识到他们有义务清理停止. 当您在巴士站遇到问题时，请致电RTD客户服务中心 303-299-6000.
