Tips for getting around campus and Boulder with ease

Tips for getting around campus and Boulder with ease Megan Maneval Wed, 08/20/2025 - 15:00

There are many convenient, accessible and sustainable modes of transportation for students to get around campus and Boulder. The Environmental Center encourages students to choose sustainable transportation if possible, and there are plenty of options for everyone!

Bikes and electric bikes

Boulder has an extensive network of bike paths and trails, making biking an easy way to get to, from and around campus. If you bring a bike to campus, be sure to register it with the Environmental Center.

Registering your bike allows you to access free maintenance assistance on campus and can also help locate your bike if it’s stolen. You can protect your bike from theft by locking it with a U-lock to a designated bike rack—exchange your used cable bike lock for a new U-lock at either campus bike station.

If you don’t have a bike, take advantage of a free membership to Boulder BCycle, an e-bike sharing program. The entire fleet is electric, making it faster and easier to get where you are going.

Don’t know how to ride a bike? It's never too late to learn. Email bicycle@colorado.edu to schedule a private lesson with a bike instructor.

Skateboards and stand-up scooters

Skateboards and scooters are great for navigating campus. Lime e-scooters are available citywide and on campus, and users can manage their rides through the Lime app. Lime scooters do have some speed and access restrictions and are prohibited in residence halls and CU buildings, along with personal e-scooters and electric skateboards.

Human-powered skateboards are allowed on most residential streets, sidewalks, multi-use paths and bike lanes, and there are storage racks located outside some larger lecture halls on campus.

Buses

Buff Buses offer free transportation around campus, with routes connecting central campus to Williams Village, Bear Creek and East Campus. No pass is required to access the Buff Buses.

Your Buff OneCard gives you access to RTD bus and rail routes, including routes to Denver International Airport.

For any bus ride, the Transit app makes it easy to track the locations of Buff Buses and RTD buses (including the HOP) in real-time. It also tracks BCycle locations and more. Download Transit on Google Play or the Apple Store. Once you download the app, select specific routes as favorites to receive service alerts and notifications.

And if you’re planning to visit the mountains this winter, check out the CU Ski Bus program for your next trip to the slopes!

Motorcycles, mopeds and sit-down scooters

Motorcycles, sit-down scooters and mopeds (electric and gas-powered) are allowed on city streets but not on campus sidewalks or paths.

Low-power mopeds and scooters are considered motorcycles for campus parking and, regardless of engine size, must have a permit from Parking Services to park in motorcycle spaces. Purchase a special motorcycle parking permit.

Any moped or scooter under 50 ccs must be registered with the Department of Motor Vehicles to purchase a motorcycle permit. Visit the Division of Motor Vehicles for details to complete your moped or scooter registration form.

Carsharing

If you don’t have a personal vehicle on campus, carsharing is a convenient way to access a car when you need one. CU students are eligible for discounted memberships and some waived fees to Colorado CarShare and Zipcar. Learn more about how to access carshare programs on campus and in Boulder.

CU NightRide

CU NightRide is a student-operated program that provides free nighttime transportation within Boulder city limits. They will get you where you want to go safely and efficiently. Download the CU NightRide app to request a ride.

Owning a car

Students who bring a personal vehicle to campus may purchase a parking permit for the academic year, pay for parking daily or take advantage of short-term parking in visitor lots throughout campus. Paid parking spaces are limited, and expenses can add up quickly, so it may be worth considering other modes of transportation.

Download the ParkMobile app to pay for short-term parking. Call 303-735-PARK (7275) or email parking@colorado.edu with parking questions.

Campus map

Use ��’s campus map to find the best routes for getting around campus. You can save a link to the map on your smartphone home screen and use it like an app.
