CUCS supports the university's commitment to sustainability in many ways including providing sustainable transportation options to conference participants. We encourage participants to take advantage of our 300 days of sunshine and walk or bike around town between events. We do have a community bike share program, and conferences can pre-purchase rides for participants to get around.
Public transportation in Boulder is easy and efficient. CU Boulder's central location connects it to many bus routes within Boulder and the region. Daily and weekly passes can be purchased online.
Groups can also charter our campus Buff Bus. We can also work with external charters on your behalf for conference shuttle.
