Community Transit Network - Bus Routes, Fares and Schedules

The Regional Transportation District (RTD) owns and operates Boulder's Community Transit Network, a fleet of buses that transports passengers throughout Boulder and connects with regional lines. GO Boulder collaborates with RTD to fund and plan the local buses.

For the smoothest ride, use your Eco Pass or Neighborhood Eco (NECO) Pass on all the buses and eliminate the need for exact change and transfers.

Check out a Boulder RTD Transit Map to find bus routes that can take you where you need to go.
