The H Line, part of the light rail system operated by the Regional Transportation District in the Denver-Aurora Metropolitan Area in Colorado, was added to the system on November 17, 2006, with the completion of the Southeast Corridor project (the "T-Rex Project"). It is one of four routes that were originally part of the RTD's service plan for the corridor.

The line was extended to reach Florida station on February 24, 2017 along with the opening of the R line.^[1]

From 3:00 am to 5:30 am, some H Line trains originate at Evans Station operating southbound to Florida Station.

Currently, the H Line is operating at a 60 minute headway due to repairs of the coping panels on the Southeast Corridor. This is a reduction from the line's typical 15 minute headways. Additionally, trains are detouring from 18th Street to Union Station due to downtown Denver track recontruction.^[2]
