Vanpool for Free!

Vanpoolers

Are you a front line service employee at CU Boulder?  If so, you may be able to ride free (for a limited time) if you start a new vanpool, or join an exisiting vanpool. Thanks to the Boulder Commuter Connections Program*, and a grant managed by Boulder Transportation Connections. This is a grant-funded program and funding levels are subject to change.

Eligible vanpoolers must be either CU Frontline Service Employees (FLSE) or demonstrate eligibility levels per program guidelines. (low-income, contract, alternative shift, or essential workers in Boulder.) For specific details visit: https://bouldertc.org/employer-resources/commuter-connections

What is vanpooling?

  • 5 or more employees share a van
  • The group must have at least 2 drivers, and one coordinator.
  • The vanpool members choose the route and schedule for the van
  • The costs for the van, maintenance, gas, and parking are included in monthly fees

Want to join, but don’t have a group? Fill out our interest form and we will work to match you up

Ready to start a van? If you have 5 or more people interested, please collect the names, emails, and phone numbers for each person and email the list to buffscommute@colorado.edu and we will follow up with next steps.

If you have questions email buffscommute@colorado.edu or visit the CU Vanpool page
