Boulder's Community Transit Network

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.
