TO/FROM DENVER INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT The Rocky Mountain Super Shuttle (formerly the Boulder Airporter) provides hourly shuttle service between Denver International Airport (DIA) and Boulder. The shuttle leaves DIA on the hour, every hour and takes about 1 hour and 15 minutes each way. Reservations are not required nor made for service from DIA. However, you will need to purchase a ticket from the Super Shuttle booth before boarding at DIA. You will need to make reservations for your return trip to DIA. The cost of the Super Shuttle is $18 from DIA to your hotel. If you depart Boulder from COMET on your return trip the cost is $22. The Super Shuttle's telephone number is (303) 444-0808.
TO/FROM COMET EVERYDAY COMET mini-vans will be available for the students staying at the designated hotel(s). These vehicles are primarily to be used for carpooling to and from COMET. These vehicles are not for personal use but can be used by the group for dinner and other local outings. Please read the COMET Van Usage Policy for more information.
GETTING AROUND BOULDER and DENVER The Boulder/Denver area has an extensive public transportation system called the Regional Transportation District (RTD). A list of their routes along with maps is located on their web site. You may also get some bus schedules in the lobby of UCAR in building FL2. There is also a nationally renowned scenic bike path along Boulder Creek and around much of the city of Boulder. There are maps of the bike path in the classroom or either Janice or Wendy would be happy to find one for you. There are several places in Boulder to rent bicycles while you are here.
