Student Transportation & Parking

A degree should help you get somewhere, and how you get to campus to earn that degree is an important thing to consider. CU Denver students have several options for traveling to and from campus safely and efficiently.

CU Denver is conveniently located downtown near multiple light rail stations and bus stops. Bicycle commuting is also a popular option, given Denver's sunny weather, active culture, and miles of protected bike lanes. If you prefer to drive, there are parking spots available, too.

RTD CollegePass

The CU Denver RTD CollegePass provides students access to buses, light rail, Call-n-Ride, and Skyride. RTD CollegePass helps get you to and from campus and across the city. The cost for the pass is not included in student fees.

Student Parking Pass

The Auraria Campus includes several parking lots with hourly and daily fees. Students can purchase discounted parking permits for the semester. Rates depend on specific lots and frequency of parking.

Bicycle Commuting
