The changes all come after "a federal judge in Florida ruled the CDC overstepped its authority when issuing a mask mandate for planes and other forms of public transportation," RTD stated in a news release

RTD officials says it will take time to remove signage from vehicles and platforms. The agency still encourages riders to wear masks as COVID-19 evolves.

On Monday night, Denver International Airport also dropped its mask mandate.
