The shuttle picks up riders at several stops around Boulder as well as from the New Vista High School Parking lot (700 20th St.), the CU Regent parking lot (Regent Drive just east of Broadway) and the downtown Boulder parking garages.
Beginning in 2024, the shuttle now travels on a new route along Broadway instead of 9th Street and features new stops closer to the Chautauqua trailhead and Chautauqua Dining Hall.
Free parking is available at downtown Boulder parking garages and at satellite parking lots at New Vista High School (700 20th Street) and CU Regent lot (Regent Drive just east of Broadway). Parking in some lots may be impacted by construction in 2024. Updates will be posted on this webpage.
Parking revenue helps pay for Park-to-Park. The shuttle is operated by Via Mobility Services.
Please note that the Park-to-Park shuttle is a separate service from the HOP 2 Chautauqua shuttle. The HOP 2 Chautauqua is a free transit service to the Colorado Music Festival and Chautauqua Summer Series events and is operated by the Colorado Chautauqua Association.
