Sustainable Transportation

The Bike Stations may close on days the AQI (Air Quality Index) reaches <100 and will definitely be closed on days the AQI reaches 150.

A refund of $86.18 was automatically applied through the Bursar’s Office on 2/5/25 for all eligible students (born on or after January 14, 2005).

To make riding transit as simple as possible, all CU students will continue to just tap their Buff OneCards on the bus or rail card validators. No need to submit a youth waiver request or carry additional forms of ID to prove that you are 19 or under. This refund is in response to and in support of the expanded RTD Zero Fare for Youth program.

Starting on September 1, the Buff OneCard ID will be used as a transit pass for all enrolled CU students and benefited employees. CU is no longer issuing CollegePasses or EcoPasses. You will use your Buff OneCard the same way that you previously used your CollegePass with a simple tap on the reader as you board the bus.

Real-time location tracking for CU Boulder’s Buff Buses is now available via the Transit app, the same mobile app where you can track RTD and HOP buses, B-Cycle and more. The Transit Mobile App is available for free at mobile app stores.
