AIRPORT & LOCAL TRANSPORTATION

All major airlines have flights into Denver International Airport (Airport code DEN, locally called DIA). A variety of surface transportation is available from DIA to Boulder.

The Regional Transportation District SkyRide (RTD city bus route “AB”) is the least expensive and travels to Boulder via Denver and U.S. 36. Travel time is approximately 90 minutes. Once in Boulder, exit at the Boulder terminal and take a taxi or city bus to your hotel.  RTD Bus Schedule.

Eight Black Airport Shuttle is a locally owned and operated shuttle service that focuses on resource sustainability and minimizing environmental impact. It is recommended that you make a reservation online via the following website for outgoing service from DIA to Boulder: Eight Black Airport Shuttle.

SuperShuttle provides transport from the airport to most local hotels: SuperShuttle Reservations.

Rental cars are available at the airport. We do suggest making advance reservations. Boulder is located 26 miles northwest of Denver via U.S. 36. If you decide to take a taxi from the airport, be sure to agree upon the fare with the driver prior to departure from the airport.

Shuttles will not be provided from hotels to the university.
