Zero Fare August
HOP and RTD buses are free for the month of August!
The Regional Transportation District (RTD) owns and operates a majority of Boulder's Community Transit Network, while Via Mobility Services operates the HOP route. The City of Boulder collaborates with both RTD and Via to plan and fund Boulder's local bus service.
The City of Boulder's vision for transit services focuses on developing and enhancing a complete transit system – a network of high-quality, frequent and convenient transit routes that connect local destinations and neighborhoods and regional destinations.
View the entire RTD system at a glance. Includes Boulder, Denver and surrounding cities.
The University of Colorado offers multiple transit options for students traveling to, from, within and between campus activity centers including: the Buff Bus and Late Night Transit routes.
Paratransit services are on-demand, door-to-door transportation options that serve limited mobility riders who would have difficulty accessing and using standard bus service. Via Mobility Services and RTD both have paratransit options available to riders in Boulder.
Several Open Space and Mountain Parks (OSMP) Trailheads are accessible by bus. All OSMP Trailheads and many access points also have bike racks.
