RTD has announced several service updates that will positively impact CU Boulder students, faculty, and staff. These changes, effective Aug. 31, include expanded service and improved connections to key destinations:

  • Boulder Junction at Depot Square Station reopens
  • RTD is reinstating service to Boulder Junction, bringing back key routes that connect Boulder to Denver and the airport.

AB2 – Boulder to Denver International Airport

  • Weekday AB2 trips will now depart from Boulder Junction Depot Square Station instead of Downtown Boulder Station.
  • Saturday service between Downtown Boulder and DIA will operate as AB3 to reduce confusion.

FF2 – Boulder to Downtown Denver Express

New trips added:

 Eastbound: Three morning peak (7–8:30 a.m.), two afternoon peak (4–5:30 p.m)

  • Westbound: Two morning peak, three afternoon peak
  • FF4 – Boulder Junction to Civic Center Station

Service reinstated with eight peak-hour trips in each direction:

  • Morning: 7–8:30 a.m.
  • Afternoon: 4–5:30 p.m.
  • Supports the reopening of Boulder Junction and RTD’s System Optimization Plan.

FF5 – Boulder to Anschutz Medical Campus

  • Westbound afternoon/evening trips rerouted to avoid I-270 congestion. New route uses I-70 to I-25, then U.S. 36.
