Traffic, Transit & Public Safety

Key Things to Know

  • ITC requires DPD coordination
  • RTD impacts require RTD approval
  • Police staffing is not guaranteed
  • Additional staffing costs may apply

Intermittent Traffic Control (ITC)

Intermittent Traffic Control (ITC) allows for the temporary stopping or slowing of vehicle or pedestrian traffic to support filming. If your production requires ITC, you must coordinate with the Denver Police Department Special Event Unit (DPD SEU).

To request ITC Support:

  1. Submit a FOP application.
  2. Contact DPD at least 10 business days before filming at  DPDSpecialEvents@denvergov.org. Copy your film permitting specialist on all communication.
  3. If approved by DPD, a Film Operational Permit (FOP) is still required.

DPD determines staffing needs and any required traffic control measures. A contract with DPD must be in place before a Film Operational Permit (FOP) can be issued.

Please note: A request for ITC does not guarantee police availability.

Regional Transportation District (RTD) Impacts

Filming must not impact light rail operations.

RTD approval is required if filming impacts:

  • bus routes
  • bus stops
  • bus stations

Contact RTD at least 10 business days before filming and copy your film permitting specialist on all communication.
