BuffRide: East Campus on-demand bus service

Getting to and from East Campus just got a little bit easier. CU Boulder’s Transportation team has launched a convenient, app-based transit option to replace the Marine Street Express Buff Bus route. With just a few taps, riders can request a ride to one of eight designated stops, including the Distribution Center and CU Surplus Store, the CINC building and other key locations in the Marine Street zone. Learn more and download the app.


BCycle is now free for all CU staff!

All CU employees are eligible for a free Boulder BCycle CU membership, thanks to a partnership between CU Boulder's Environmental Center and BCycle. This membership gives you unlimited rides under 60 minutes - perfect for getting around campus or between CU locations. Just download the Boulder BCycle app and use your identikey@colorado.edu email address when registering. Learn more about BCycle.


FF2 is expanding its service along with other RTD routes

Take a look at the new RTD services changes, which are also on the RTD schedule:

  • The FF2 and FF4 Flatiron Flyer will have more trips during peak hours.
  • Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station has reopened with the AB2 and FF4 bus routes, connecting Boulder to the airport and downtown Denver respectively.
  • Weekday AB2 airport trips now depart from Boulder Junction Depot Square Station. Saturday service between Downtown Boulder and the airport now operates as AB3 to reduce confusion.
  • Westbound FF5 trips in the afternoon and evening now travel via I-70 to I-25 and continuing onto US 36 to avoid congestion.
     
Will Vill goes clockwise

We’re streamlining Buff Bus service for greater efficiency! The Will Vill, Will Vill Limited and Bear Creek loops have been consolidated into a single clockwise route named “Route W: Williams Village.” Our other Buff Bus routes will continue as before. See the new schedules for fall 2025.


Get support for travel as a Via or RTD Access-a-Ride rider

Registered Via riders that need transportation when Via cannot provide it may qualify for the Family and Friends Mileage Reimbursement Program. RTD Access‑a‑Ride customers can also now sign up for the income-based LiVE program, which cuts trip costs in half and provides discounted 6‑ride ticket books, so take a look to see if you qualify.
 

Need support for transit, medical, food costs and more?

The Boulder County Family Resource Network has created the Boulder County Findhelp website to support Boulder residents in finding support for transit, medical care, food, job training, housing and more. Simply search your zip code to start finding opportunities to fit your needs.
