The 2,987 EcoPasses went to less than 10% of the roughly 35,000 people who work at DIA, but they make up a disproportionate share of lower-paid service workers by jonmurray
Nearly 3,000 people who work at restaurants, shops and kiosks at Denver International Airport have received access tothis year under an EcoPass deal that received formal approval Monday from city leaders.
Some concessionaires who operate businesses in the airport had provided workers with passes to use the Regional Transportation District’s A-Line train or buses to get to work. But others couldn’t afford it — or were too small to qualify for the lower per-worker EcoPass rates given to large employers.
So DIA negotiated an arrangement with RTD in which the airport serves as a master contractor for EcoPasses and then passes the cost along to operators who hold 74 concessions contracts. The Denver City Council approved the one-year, $1.9 million deal as part of a block vote, but the arrangement actually took effect Jan. 1. Concessionaires paid $632 per employee for 2023, a rate that slashes up to $442 off what they would pay on their own to enroll in EcoPass, according to DIA.
“Our concessionaires are saving roughly $370,000 by entering into this agreement,” said Rachel Gruber, DIA’s manager of regional affairs, during an earlier council committee hearing.of lower-paid service workers. EcoPasses already are offered to DIA’s 2,000 direct city employees. Many others work for large companies that qualify for RTD’s lowest rates.
