Park-to-Park Free Shuttle to Chautauqua program
The Park-to-Park shuttle provides satellite parking and free shuttle service to and from beautiful and popular Chautauqua Park on summer weekends and holidays, to create a better visitor experience while reducing vehicular and parking impacts on neighbors and the area’s natural and cultural resources. The program also includes paid parking at Chautauqua and nearby neighborhood streets to help pay for the shuttles, as well as ambassadors to assist visitors, during summer weekends and holidays.
**Please note that Regent Lot on the University of Colorado Boulder campus will not be available for Park-to-Park Shuttle parking on Saturday, June 17, as the lot parking is reserved for the Dead and Co. concert.**
The Park-to-Park shuttle program operates on summer weekends and holidays from Memorial Day weekend (late May) to Labor Day weekend (early September). For 2022, the shuttle begins operating Saturday, May 28, and runs through Monday, Sept. 5.
The free shuttle runs from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on weekends and holidays only, and pay parking in/around Chautauqua Park is also in effect on weekends and holidays only. Included holidays are Memorial Day (May 30), Juneteenth (June 20), Independence Day (July 4), and Labor Day (Sept. 5) in 2022.
Parking revenue helps pay for the free shuttle.
