The Trolley Will Roll Again...in 2021!

August 1, 2020: To our Trolley Visitors...We are hopeful that all of you visiting our website are healthy and safe and doing your best as we collectively endure this COVID-19 global pandemic. We had hoped to be able to once again rev up the motor of Denver Trolley Car #1977 in 2020, as we have for 31 years, and roll it out on the tracks along the South Platte River. We had hoped to give riders the historical, cultural, and educational experience of what it was like in the 19th and early 20th centuries to get around the city of Denver by rail. We had hoped that at some point this season we would be able to operate and share the Trolley with visitors from around the country and around the world.

But not this season. The world is dealing with much larger and more urgent health issues that will prevent us from operating the Denver Trolley this season. We want to operate. We want to welcome all of you with a big, loud, hearty "All aboard"! But we can't. The risks are too great and the knowledge is still being developed. To paraphrase a biologist/infectious disease researcher, "If you don't solve the biology," we can't operate the Trolley. Well, the biology is not solved yet, and with an operation that naturally invites interaction, the risks of virus presence and transmission are high.

Though we won't operate the Trolley this season, we do want to continue to share knowledge and experiences, and interact with all of you in whatever way we can. We are creating a "Citizen Page" for you to contribute your pictures, memories, and thoughts about Trolleys, and we are working on ways to continue to share the Trolley throughout 2020, though from a distance.

Check back here for updates, follow us on Twitter (@DenverTrolley), and visit us on Facebook (DenverTrolley)! In the meantime, here are some websites we are using to get information and updates on the virus and the fight to eradicate it, and resources for keeping up our cultural interests while we are playing our part in supporting the health of our community:

• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment
• Denver Department of Public Health and Environment
• Rocky Mountain PBS 

Also, the Scientific and Cultural Facilities District (SCFD), a strong supporter of the Trolley, has gathered resources for fun and interesting activities/tours you can participate in from home. Check them out at this link.

We look forward to seeing you on the Trolley one day soon...Until then, we send you lots of #TrolleyLove!

Trolley Service During Football Season

During football season, the Denver Trolley shuttles fans during home games from the Trolley stop at REI at Confluence Park to Broncos Stadium at Mile High and back again after the game.

Fans can ride the Football Shuttle from the REI stop at Confluence Park down to the Stadium every 10 minutes beginning two hours before game time and running until 10 minutes after the game starts.

Return rides back to the REI stop at Confluence Park begin at the end of the third quarter and last until 30 minutes after the game ends.

Price is $7.00 per person round trip or $5.00 one way, payable at the Trolley.

Check back often for schedule updates.
