Sustainable Transportation

The Transportation section of our Web site outlines various transportation programs, groups, and options available to CU Boulder students and faculty/staff, as well as the general community; provides links to access these options on the Web; provides access to university transportation policy documents, and displays various transportation-related publications produced by the CU Environmental Center.

Our success is based largely on the inter-organizational cooperative relationships we create — at the University, with private companies and among many government departments. We develop, administer, fund and promote our programs with a cooperative emphasis. Check out each specific program to see who is involved.
