Resources for Residents
Replacement Passes
Replacing a Lost or Stolen Pass
If your NECO Pass has been lost or stolen, you will be charged $10 per pass. This can be paid by cash, check or money order only, at the Boulder Transit Station.
How do I join an Eco Pass Neighborhood?:
- Look at the map to see if you live in an existing Neighborhood Eco (NECO) Pass area. If you do reside within a NECO boundary, contact the NECO Pass Program Coordinator or GO Boulder, let them know the name of the NECO neighborhood you live in and they will give you that neighborhood's coordinator contact info who can sign you up to get an ecopass. If you DO NOT reside in an existing NECO Pass area, you can start an ecopass program in your neighborhood. Please read the GO Boulder and RTD documents listed above under Start a Neighborhood Eco (NECO) Pass Program. If you feel you have enough interest in your neighborhood to meet the RTD requirements, please contact GO Boulder or the NECO Pass Program Coordinator and let them know you would like to start a NECO Pass Program in your neighborhood.
Frequently Asked Questions
If the owner does not live in the house are they eligible for a NECO Pass?
No. Only the person or people who live in the house are eligible for the NECO Pass.
If the house is vacant and the owner pays for the NECO Pass, but lives outside the NECO Pass neighborhood, is the owner eligible for the pass?
No. Only those that live within the NECO Pass neighborhood boundaries are eligible to receive the pass.
Can vacant households be dropped out of the neighborhood contract cost?
Yes. Neighborhoods are not required to include vacant homes in their contract cost. H
owever, there is a minimum contract amount. If your count falls within the minimum amount, dropping a house will not change the final contract amount.
How do I get a replacement pass?
Read through the instructions for replacing your NECO Pass. There is a fee for replacing lost or stolen passes. However, if your pass is damaged, worn or outdated, RTD will replace it for free.
If a CU student prefers to receive their Eco Pass through their neighborhood, can they receive a refund from CU on their Student Bus and Bike Programs Fee?
Yes. If a student lives in a NECO pass neighborhood and has a valid Neighborhood Eco Pass, they can recieve a waiver from CU. Visit CU's Environmental Center website to learn more.
How long does a CU student have before they can no longer fill out the waiver?
From the time they are assessed the fee until the last day of finals for that semester.
Can CU employees request an Eco Pass waiver?
No, this waiver only applies to students.
Where do I find residency verification for my Boulder Valley School District student?
Parents of BVSD students can use the Instructions for Infinite Campus portal to print demographic data for their student. If your student's school does not use the parental portal through Infinite Campus, the school will need to print the demographic data for you.
