52 Weeks of Wellbeing: Free RTD Eco Pass? Yes, please!
Department / Organization: Every Oredigger
Did you know all students and employees are eligible for free rides on RTD buses and trains? Get your pass on campus today!
Who doesn't want free access to transit? The EcoPass and College Pass are annual prepaid transit passes that provide unlimited use of RTD services — and all Mines community members can get one for free.
Whether you're going to work, running an errand or heading to the airport, it’s all the same when you’ve got an EcoPass (employees) or College Pass (students).
To get your free EcoPass/College Pass:
Faculty and staff (full and part-time): Email the Parking Services office at parking@mines.edu to request an EcoPass. You will then receive an email from RTD with instructions to obtain the pass through the RTD mobile phone app. RTD is transitioning all passes from a physical card to a bar code in their mobile app.
Students: At the start of the Fall 2023 semester, you should have receive and e-mail from RTD with instructions how to acquire your College Pass through the RTD mobile app. For more information, please contact blastercard@mines.edu.
