Sustainable Transportation – Bus

RTD is an important partner of the Sustainable Tranportation Program with the Student Bus Pass program (also known as "College Pass"). In 1991, students voted in favor of adding a student fee to the general fees paid along with tuition. Each semester, every student is issued a bus pass that can be used in conjunction with the Buff OneCard. With this pass, ride any regularly scheduled RTD route fare-free.

Special Transit is an important partner of the Sustainable Transportation Program because of the Student Bus Pass and Late Night Transit. The popular HOP bus route is operated by Special Transit and, like other RTD routes, is fare-free when students present their Bus Pass. Late Night Transit is a late night/early morning bus service operated by Special Transit.

In the spring of 2009, students voted 8:1 in favor of increasing their fee to maintain their bus pass & bicycle programs.
