For the month of August, RTD is free for ALL users through their Zero Fare for Better Air program!

From September 1, 2023 through August 31, 2024, Youth 19 and under can just hop on board!

RTD is excited to welcome a future generation of transit users to experience the benefits of public transit at no cost. 
Zero Fare for Youth is a one-year pilot program that aims to enhance the lives of RTD customers and communities by reducing transportation costs for families.

By inviting youth ages 19 and under to ride the bus and train at no cost, we also remove barriers to education and employment, while creating access to destinations across the metro Denver region. If you’re new to our system, check out our How to Ride video.

*What Do I Need to Show When I Ride?

To ride at no cost as part of this program, you must be prepared to show one of the following to the bus operator or fare inspector: current school ID, valid government-issued ID, alien registration/permanent resident card, Military ID/dependent card with DOB, RTD-issued youth special discount card.

The Space Available program provides an opportunity for students who are not transportation-eligible to apply for a seat on a school bus, if there is available capacity. Space Available applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis. Applying for a seat on the bus via the Space Available program does not guarantee a seat on the bus. 

A new application must be submitted EVERY SCHOOL YEAR for EACH STUDENT desiring transportation on a space available basis. NO new stops or other transportation services will be implemented to accommodate students applying for space available transportation. 

The Space Available application opens on Infinite Campus on August 1st. Space Available applications will be evaluated by our routing team in early October, after load counts are tabulated for each route. Families will be notified by email in October if their student has been granted a seat on the bus. Please note, students who are eligible for bus service, but are on the waitlist get priority before space available applications. 

Space Available Application Instructions

• Log in to the Infinite Campus parent account. If you don’t have an account, directions on how to set one up can be found here.  

  • Once logged in, select the “More” button on the left-hand side of the screen.

  • Next, select the “Transportation Options” link on the right side of the screen, located under the heading “Quick Links”

• You will see a list of all of your BVSD students. Click on your student(s) and answer the questions on the Space Available application.

Parents and guardians of general education students, that are eligible for school bus service, must register for bus service on Infinite Campus. If you need your child to ride the bus for the 2023-24 school year, please register. Registration opens 5/1/2023 and closes 7/1/2023 at 5:00 p.m.

Students who are registered for bus service after July 1st will be put on a waitlist.

Bus stop locations and times for registered riders, who are assigned to a bus route, are posted on Infinite Campus in early August. Look for the BVSD Bus Stop and Schedule tab, which is found by clicking on "More" at the left-hand column of the home page. 

To receive a BVSD Bus Pass, parents must first register their student on Infinite Campus to ride the bus. Once the student is assigned to a route, their bus driver will give them their pass. For the 22/23 school year, we are implementing a new software program and passes will be issued to students in late September to early October.

If you ever need a replacement pass, check with your bus driver or call Transportation at 720-561-5120.

Once a student is issued a bus pass, they must have it to board the bus. Every time a student enters or exits the bus, they must swipe their pass.

Reminder for students and parents utilizing mountain area school bus service to schools located in the City of Boulder:

When it is announced that “BVSD Mountain Schools” are closed (i.e. schools in Nederland, Gold Hill, and Jamestown), there will be NO BUS SERVICE. This includes NO BUS SERVICE for students who live in mountain areas and utilize bus service to schools in the City of Boulder: Boulder High, Casey, Centennial, Manhattan, Foothill, and Flatirons.   

Whenever the weather is especially bad, but school is open, parents must make a family decision regarding attendance or late arrival for their children. A personal contact by the parent or a written note to school officials will excuse a students’ late arrival or absence during these conditions.

If you have questions, please contact the Boulder Transportation Dispatch office at 720-561-5125 or Transportation Administration at 720-561-5120.
