Get There By Transit

W Line and Route 17 map.

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) W Line runs from Denver to Jefferson County Government Center, which is about 2 miles away from the center of Golden. Beware of trains that say ‘Golden’ on the front, they will drop you here! To get to Downtown Golden, transfer a few stops earlier at Oak station onto the 17 bus.
