CU Boulder Parking and Transportation Services offers a variety of sustainable commuting options. For many commuters, the flexibility driving affords, or responsibilities outside of work and school, make driving necessary and/or outweigh the costs and environmental impacts.
Electric Vehicle Charging
The university offers chargers for personal plug-in electric vehicles (PEVs) on campus. Find more information on EV charging on campus here.
Faculty/Staff
If you plan to drive your own vehicle to campus, you may be eligible to purchase your parking permit through payroll deductions. Your parking liaison is your first connection to assist with purchasing a long-term parking permit. Review your CU Boulder parking permit options.
You may want to review information on sharing a ride and cutting your expenses with vanpools, carpools and carsharing.
To park on campus occasionally, temporary permits are available for purchase at the Parking Services Customer Service window. Review CU Boulder’s temporary parking information.
There are several options available so you can attend meetings on main campus, east campus, Research Park and Williams Village without driving your vehicle. These include walking, bicycle rentals and multiple transit routes. Learn how to Get Around Campus.
If you need to drive your own vehicle to on-campus meetings there are options available when you park outside your primary parking lot. Check with your parking liaison to determine if your department has a Parkmobile account or a campus department business permit.
