Boulder HOP expands with RTD reopening
Aug 14th
City anticipates boost in ridership with station reopening after COVID-19 closure
BOULDER, Colo. – The City of Boulder, in partnership with the Regional Transportation District (RTD) and CU Boulder, is expanding the local HOP bus route. The modified route will directly serve Boulder Junction and connect with RTD routes returning to the Boulder Junction Depot Square Station beginning on Tuesday, September 2.
HOP service will be added along Pearl Parkway between 30th Street and Junction Place, Junction Place/32nd Street between Pearl Parkway and Walnut, and Walnut between 32nd and 30th streets. Route schedules will remain the same. Community members may notice new striping, bus stops and signage installation in the coming days in the area.
The HOP bus connects key destinations, including CU Boulder, University Hill, downtown and the 29th Street Mall with a 15-minute frequency during peak service. The updated route returns service to the center of the Boulder Junction Transit-Oriented Development (TOD): a mixed-use, walkable neighborhood where people live, work, shop and can access local and regional transit.
“The HOP bus has been a community staple for over 30 years, and we are tremendously proud to continue to evolve its route to provide Boulder Junction with centralized local transit service,” said City of Boulder Interim Director of Transportation & Mobility Valerie Watson.
The reopened station at Boulder Junction will also feature RTD routes serving Denver International Airport and the Denver Civic Center.
“RTD is excited to continue to enhance service throughout Boulder County, including to Boulder’s transit-oriented developments. The resumption of service to Boulder Junction is a great next step to enhance the overall transit experience for our Boulder customers,” said RTD Board Director Lynn Guissinger.
“We’ve heard a strong and clear desire for a return of transit service at Boulder Junction to support livable neighborhoods. We greatly appreciate RTD’s partnership and recognition of the importance of these services in Boulder,” added Watson.
High-quality transit service is key to making progress toward Boulder’s transportation vision of providing safe, equitable, sustainable and reliable travel choices. In support of these values, the city is also purchasing 7 battery electric buses with Colorado Department of Transportation (CDOT) grants to be delivered this fall and replace diesel buses that have reached useful life milestones, bringing Boulder closer to its goal of a fully electrified HOP bus fleet by 2030.
Updated route maps are available on the Boulder Bus Map and the HOP Bus webpage. Learn more about city transit and sign up for updates via the Transportation and Mobility Department newsletter.
