CU Boulder launches campus safety app: CU Boulder Safe

CU Boulder's Division of Public Safety (DPS) has launched a new mobile safety app, CU Boulder Safe. The app is designed to centralize emergency alerts, safety tools, and campus resources—making it easier for students, faculty, and staff to find everything they need in one place. The app also includes all of CU Boulder's transit info and maps, including a link to the Transit app. The CU Boulder Safe app is now available for download in the Apple App and Google Play stores and requires an IdentiKey login to access the interface. Read more and download the CU Boulder Safe app.

Going to the airport for the holidays?

Did you know you can travel to the Denver International Airport (DIA) for free with your Buff OneCard? With one stop adjacent to CU Boulder at 16th and Broadway, the SkyRide (AB1) leaves hourly from Boulder Station. If you're taking the AB1 bus, head over to the Downtown Station to improve your chances of getting a spot on the bus. Live by 28th Street? Use the AB2 route instead of the AB1 to get ahead of the crowd. You can also take the Flatiron Flyer bus to Union Station and take the A light rail line. Visit RTD’s website on airport transit options for more details.

Free transportation services: RTD Free Ride, Via Mobility Services and Lime Access

Looking to save money on transit? Via riders can now use their mobility services for free since Sept. 1. RTD’s 16th Street Free Ride in Denver has also started its service again since Oct. 5. Lime Access is also a great way to get around town for free rides if they are 30 minutes or less. Reasons for eligibility include SNAP, Medicaid, and more. Check out if you can add these transportation options to your daily routes.

Need support for transit, medical, food costs and more?

The Boulder County Family Resource Network has created the Boulder County Findhelp website to support Boulder residents in finding support for transit, medical care, food, job training, housing, and more. Simply search your zip code to start finding opportunities to fit your needs.
