Advertising on Buses

Approximately one million passengers board the Buff Buses each year!

Some Buff Buses maintain a fixed route, shuttling students around multiple campus locations while other Buff Buses are used for charter routes. Riders of these buses vary from elementary students and senior citizens to CU dignitaries and CU students.

Use this to your advantage to promote your organization, your company or just to get information to students.
