Heads up: Construction at RTD Table Mesa Park-n-Ride

Work has begun on structural repairs at the Table Mesa Park-n-Ride that require temporary closure of the station plaza area and a few other changes:

For the duration of the project, bus gates B and C in front of the parking garage will be temporarily closed.
Customers arriving via the Flatiron Flyer (FF) or Airport (AB) routes will deboard at the bus stop located along Table Mesa Drive across from the Park-n-Ride.
Customers departing the station aboard the FF or AB routes will board at the south ramp boarding plaza located on the south side of US 36.
Customers can take an elevator to Level 4 of the Park-n-Ride garage to access the pedestrian bridge over US 36 to the south ramp boarding plaza.

The project is estimated to be completed in September 2027. Details and project updates are available on the Boulder Chamber Transportation Connections Table Mesa Park-n-Ride construction article.

All aboard: Colorado’s future passenger rail is on the way

Coloradans recently weighed in on naming the future Front Range passenger rail service—an exciting new train that will connect communities from Fort Collins to Pueblo and offer a faster, cleaner way to travel along the Front Range. Four finalist names were in the mix, and the service is expected to be on the rails in 2029. FRPRD will be hosting town halls throughout the district: Check out the Front Range Passenger Rail District event page to get involved.

Check out transit resources from DRMAC

If you're interested in getting started with transit options like RTD, ebikes, or scooters, the Denver Regional Mobility and Access Council (DRMAC) provides several tools for community members to get started. Take a look at DRMAC's Getting There App for a list of resources for your commute. Community members can also call the Information and Assistance Line to see if they are eligible for free Uber rides to support their transit needs. Check out the DRMAC Resources page for more support, such as training on public transit and planning for future trips.

Be Mobile readers, we have a favor to ask

We need two additional minutes of your time for a quick questionnaire.

Bikes

Keep your bike secure with summer bike storage

Unwanted bikes can be donated at the Folsom and UMC bike stations, where they will be refurbished and sold at the annual Bike Sale in the fall. If you’re keeping your bike, the CU Bike Program can store it for you for $20 over the summer. Storage is limited, and bikes are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis from April 27 to May 1. Learn more about summer bike storage.

The Bike Program will be accepting bikes for donation or storage in May.

Get rolling: Free bike lessons

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. This service is for CU students, faculty and staff.

Join biking classes from the ECenter

If you're ready to hop back on your bike this spring, check out the bike classes from the E-Center offered this month:

Beginner Gravel Ride (CU students only): April 11, 11 a.m. to 1 p.m.
Street Art Bike Tour, April 15: 5:15 p.m. to 6:45 p.m.

Don't forget, register your bike

If you bring a bike to campus, be sure to register it at the TLC or Folsom Bike Stations during open hours or online at bikeindex.org. The registration process is quick, easy and free!

Registering your bike allows you to access free maintenance assistance on campus, and CUPD and other agencies will be able to help locate your bike if it’s stolen and recovered. 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 the Environmental Center in UMC 355 or one of the bike stations.

Buffalo Bicycle Classic: Ride for a great cause

Thinking about signing up for a bike event this year? Be Mobile readers can get $20 off registration for the Buffalo Bicycle Classic with coupon code BEMOBILE. This annual ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� cycling event and scholarship fundraiser offers routes for all abilities, with select routes giving riders the rare chance to bike up Boulder Canyon while it’s closed to vehicle traffic. Bonus: form a team of 10 or more riders and each rider will receive an additional $15 refunded to their credit card once the 10th person registers. Ride solo or with friends, and support scholarships for CU students along the way.

Take a guess! What percent of CU cyclists ride an e-bike as their main commute mode?

The results are in, and the data from our 2025 Transportation Survey is posted. If you are curious about how CU folks get to work, how often they commute, how far away they live, and more, you can now find all the stats and data on our new Transportation Survey dashboard. Slice and dice the data to see percentages by students, faculty, staff and more. Click here for the Transportation Survey dashboard on the Student Life Assessment, Insights and Research website.

Winter biking on campus

Biking doesn’t have to stop in winter (especially this winter!) Even on a snowy day, with a little extra preparation, cycling can still be a great way to get around campus. As temperatures drop and daylight changes, remember to allow extra travel time, stay visible, and ride with winter conditions in mind. Check conditions before you go and plan a route that works for you. Need a backup? The Buff Buses and Buff Ride are always there when weather doesn’t cooperate.

Take the 2025 CU Transportation Survey for a chance to win a $100 shopping spree

Survey says that less than 30% of the CU community drives alone to campus. These are strong numbers but they are no longer accurate. Our last university-wide survey predated COVID, new micromobility options and increased work-from-home rates. This fall’s CU Transportation Survey is important to our transportation work and efforts to track our greenhouse gas impacts.

This is where you come in! More than 9,000 lucky people received an email on Oct. 28 titled, “Transportation and Sustainability Feedback,” that includes a link to our CU Transportation Survey, unique to each participant. If you received it, take the survey by Nov. 14 and you will be entered to win a $100 shopping spree at the CU Bookstore.

Give your input for the Boulder County Transit Plan

Boulder County is creating its first Transit Plan, called "Linking Boulder County," and is launching a survey to learn about residents' experiences with public transit and their feedback. The project team is holding pop-up events, and their dates and locations are on the Linking Boulder County project website. Don't forget to submit your thoughts in the Transit Needs Survey by Nov. 20.

��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� launches campus safety app: ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Safe

��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��'s Division of Public Safety (DPS) has launched a new mobile safety app, ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Safe. The app is designed to centralize emergency alerts, safety tools and campus resources—making it easier for students, faculty and staff to find everything they need in one place. The app also includes all of ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ��'s transit info and maps, including a link to the Transit app. ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Safe is free for campus affiliates and available on both iOS and Android devices. Read more and download the ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Safe app.

Resurfacing between 28th St. and Cherryvale Road for better accessibility

The Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) has begun a resurfacing project on Colorado Highway 7 (Arapahoe Avenue) between 28th Street and Cherryvale Road until late December. This project will implement ADA upgrades and convert underutilized right-through lanes into shared curbside lanes for buses and right-turning vehicles. Traffic impacts are available on the CDOT CO 7 Resurfacing project website.

Buses

Going to the airport for the holidays?

The Buff Bus fleet is going electric!

��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� is leading the way in sustainability on campus with cleaner transportation, fewer emissions, and a comfortable ride for students. Chancellor Justin Schwartz explains why clean transportation is just one piece of the university’s bold sustainability vision. Watch the full video to learn how ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� aims to lead Colorado and the nation in sustainability.

Don't forget: Late night Buff Bus service for Will Vill route

Via buses run on the Will Vill route from 11 p.m. to 1 a.m. every Thursday, Friday and Saturday when campus is open. These all-black buses will arrive at stops every 12 to 15 minutes, with the last bus leaving Will Vill at 1 a.m.

��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Vanpool Program passes 20 vans

With the partnership of Commute with Enterprise, the university's Vanpool Program now has 21 vans in its fleet. If you are a ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� employee, affiliate or contractor, check out the ��Ҵ�ý�ƽ�� Vanpool Program website to save money on parking and other costs during your campus commute.
