Summer bus pass suspension for students

Students load RTD bus
The RTD CollegePass transit pass is suspended until Aug. 1, 2017, for students who are not enrolled in summer terms, but are returning for the fall semester. To keep their pass working over the summer, affected students can visit the Buff OneCard office in C4C or call 303-492-0355 and purchase an “optional summer transit pass” for $85. Once the pass is purchased it will take 24-72 hours for bus and train card readers to recognize the status update. The optional pass program is also available for residents of family housing. For those who are enrolled and paying mandatory fees for a summer term(s), no further action needs to be taken to keep their passes active. Please email buspass@colorado.edu for further information or questions.
